Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kentucky

It sounds like you have bigger problems in life than a shoplifting charge, starting with being 17 years old and pregnant, and having associates who make you an accomplice to their criminal activities. You have a tough road ahead of you, and continuing to make bad choices is only going to make things more difficult for you and your child. Start with making a good choice, which is hiring an attorney before things go any further. (And find new friends. Someone who is going to involve you in their criminal activities and then not step up to say you had nothing to do with it is definitely not your friend.)

Hopefully you already have an attorney, because you should discuss this matter with him or her, and you should not make any statements to the police or prosecutors without your attorney present. Depending on the value of the items, the charge might just be a misdemeanor (although I suppose it's technically possible to take items of enough value at Wal-Mart for the charge to be a felony). But if you have no real defense, you may be eligible to have the charge diverted (meaning: if you do not commit any other offenses during the diversion period, the charge will be dismissed). Again, all things to discuss with your attorney.
