Re: shoplifting

Although you are facing jail time, because of your past the state will probably require you do some community service hours or pay a fine. Good luck and call anytime should you have any questions.

Re: shoplifting

Although first time offenders do not usually receive a jail sentence, you should consult an attorney to review the strengths and weaknesses of your case and to discuss possible alternatives such as eligibility for a pretrial intervention program in your jurisdiction.
