Re: Shoplifting Grand theft

Under penal code 666 there is an enhancement. Every person who, having been convicted of petty theft, grand theft, auto theft under Section 10851 of the Vehicle Code, burglary, carjacking, robbery, or a felony violation of Section 496 and having served a term therefor in any penal institution or having been imprisoned therein as a condition of probation for that offense, is subsequently convicted of petty theft, then the person convicted of that subsequent offense is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year, or in the state prison.

Now having cited PC 666 your attorneys skill and the facts can make the difference of doing minimal jail time or continuing probation. Call if you get serious about defending yourself. I suggest that you look up my website.
