Re: Misdemeanor
Depending on the quality of your legal representation you could beat the charges entirely, or you could get probation and a fine, or jail time. Probably you will be allowed to keep your child. But if you plead guilty or are found guilty you won't work again.
Re: Misdemeanor
Depending upon the attitude of the county in which this occurred and the district attorney you may be able to complete a theft awareness class. Based on the facts you have given it appears unlikely that you will be sentenced to jail time. Retaining an attorney to review the facts of your case.
