Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

A series of people was friends had been working together for over 10 years... Never had a reason to believe that one or either would steal from the job. Let along ask the question was items stolen.

They Practically purchased a complete photo/video studio from them and others.

First offense, but wondering what will happen as far as the FELONY sentence or even if there's a way out the situation?

If you mean that you are charged with a felony crime, then 'the way out' is to defend the charges in court. When arrested or charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or confession be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help you in your legal defense. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney that does, who will try to get a dismissal, diversion program, charge reduction, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help, using whatever defenses there may be.
