Maybe not. Computer Tampering in the third degree is a class E felony. You face up to 4 years in a New York state prison facility or up to 5 years of probation as well as fines, and potentially restitution and community service. A criminal defense lawyer who handles computer tampering crimes will need to fully examine all of the proof against you, any possible defenses you may have, as well as your history and background before it can be known whether you will face jail or prison for this offense.
