I asked elsewhere but I figure I might get responses from people who might know more about the law.
So the neighbors chicken flies to your porch and lays an egg, you saw it lay it there's no doubt, maybe there is even video proof. You keep the egg, did you steal it? What if the neighbor is asking for it back and you say no?
I know no one would ever get in trouble for it but is it technically stealing if you know its from their chicken and choose not to give it back?
I don't know exactly when I think it happened. It just feels like clothes barely last and I could swear the clothes I bought before besides shoes would last a really long time. Is this the case or misremembering?
Like if someone turned themselves in, confessed, had corroborating witnesses, and the criminal recorded themselves breaking the law, is there still any good reason to go to trial or does it only happen when someone thinks they found some loophole or are gambling on the 0.001% chance they are found not guilty or something? Do lawyers typically advice them not to go to trial?
