Btw, here's a funky bug I noticed. If you're a Thane in a certain region, you can get the guards to forgive your crime if they catch you.
However, for some reason, the Jarl and his personal guard will go absolutely apeshit if they see you after this has happened. The only way to fix it that I've found so far is to commit another crime and go to jail for it.
In the end it's just easier not to use the Thane's Forgiveness feature.
