If she's a first time offender, upon her plea of guilty, probably, probation with a suspended sentence, possible required attendance at special class for shoplifters, with a disposition known as SIS (Suspended Imposition of Sentence).

max penalty for a class 1 misdemeanor is 1 year in jail and fine of $2,500.00. However, if she is a first offender, she will probably get a suspended sentence and a fine plus restitution.
