Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

A buddy of mine put feces on a car and I was around when he done it, he was charged with criminal trespass and I was charged with a party of the crime, what will be my outcome most likely in court? We were both arrested and are out on bond, it was also my first time being arrested, how will this play out for me in court? I also was the only one arrested for being a party when 2 other people were around

You're charged with a crime that could land you in jail for a year and face fines of $1000 plus court costs. While a much lighter sentence is likely, a conviction will leave you with a criminal history for life, ruining your chances for employment with many employers. An attorney is the best chance for a favorable (or at least a less-unfavorable) option, and you should have already hired one. Hire one Monday.

This may be a difficult charge for the state to prosecute if there were three people and only one was charged. Get an attorney and see about beating these charges. You don't want this on your record if you can avoid it, for the reasons Mr. Ashman has given.
