Re: grand larceny by 16 year old
Assuming that he is being tried as a juvenile and not as an adult, he will be found not guilty or guilty on your next ct date of the two felonies with which he has been charged. Depending on your son's record and the facts of the case, it may be possible to get the charges reduced to misdemeanors or ultimately dismissed if he does community service or possibly spend some time in detention. There are a wide range of options and potential outcomes in juvenile court and you need to get your son's lawyer to run through them with you.
