Richard
A suggestion. In lieu of giving money, offer to take him and his wife out for dinner to get briefed on the case. He should be able to accept that with no problem.

My best guess is a felony conviction with no more than a year (probably six months) in the county pokey with another 5 years of probation. Not that that is right or wrong, just a guess. Let's see how close I am. You'er *probably* right, but in my neck of So. Cal the DA doubles down when a burglar takes guns. State Pen. and more than a year in custody, even for a first offense. (I see him at the local shooting range from time to time.) Since when does the DA establish the sentence? In most states the judge does that. The DA effectively establishes the sentence whenever it's a plea bargain. The judge signs off on it - and they've been known to turn down a deal on rare occasion. But the DA has remarkable power in our system. |

Perhaps the local police have a charity they look after or even something like a little league team? You could donate the reward to them if it feels right. |
