Billy, a 17 year- old high school junior, and Mary, a 16 year old sophomore, are about to celebrate their 1 year anniversary (since they started dating). After exchanging nice gifts, they decide to go to dinner at a restaurantDue to a misunderstanding , each assumes that the other has offered to pay for dinner. After a very nice, romantic dinner, the waitress leaves their check/bill of $ 53.29 on their table. Both Billy and Mary look cautiously at the bill on their table waiting nervously for the other to pick it up. After several minutes , they discover their misunderstanding about who was to pay for dinner. Unfortunately, neither of them has more than a few dollars on them, since they just spent money on gifts . Both try, unsuccessfully, to call their parents to bring moneyThey decide, after a brief argument , to "make a run for it." Billy points out that "the food wasn't that greatit was over-priced, and the waitress was ugly." Noticing that the restaurant is extremely busy (it's Saturday night), Mary points out that "they won't even notice!" After thus agreeing, they get up from their table and head hastily for the exit. When the waitress sees them leaving, she gets the manager and they start after Billy and MaryAs they're fighting their way through the crowd in the lobby, Billy and Mary run directly into a police officer at the exitThey are subsequently arrested and each charged with petty larceny . Based on your knowledge of the American criminal justice system so far, create a chart including the likely steps in the justice process that Billy and Mary will be subjected to. Be as thorough as possible .
