Sentencing is really up to the judge's discretion. They have sentencing guidelines but they can impose whatever sentence they want up to the max. The max sentence is on the books for them to deal with weird situations.
Just put on your best effort and be ready for the worst. Then you can be relieved when you get a lighter sentence.

You came as a group. Someone in the group touched the gocart. The entire group goes down for conspiracy.
That's why you always have to watch out for who you're hanging with. If some shiz goes down, you can be guilty by association.
Just imagine if someone in the group pulled out a gun and shot the cop. Then you have to testify against the shooter or go down for conspiracy to commit murder.
It's messed up so watch yourself. You really have to know the people around you.

Don't assume anything. Just kiss ass and hope for the best. You never know if you'll get a hanging judge.

I would keep that opinion to yourself. You don't want to look like you're telling him how to do his job.
I agree with the officer. If I were the arresting officer, I would charge everyone with conspriracy to trespass, breaking and entering, grand larceny, and grand theft auto. Let your parents pay attorneys to reduce the charges in court.
Some jurisdictions rate police officers by the number and severity of convictions they rack up. Cops in this situation like to throw the book at you.
