    Knowingly accepting stolen property is a misdemeanor that carries with it jail time, a fine, restitution or probation. Depending on what those ruby red slippers were valued at, it would be a felony.

      She literally had just came out of a house that was thrown far away from her home town by a tornado. She was likely traumatized, in shock, and didn’t know what was going on. She’s surrounded by a bunch of little people following a weirdo shoe looter that hands her shoes, which she needs as she has none because hers were taken by a tornado. I think any judge would understand the circumstances and let her off.
