How to Get a PJC

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Nc

-Can you get a pjc for shoplifting?

-can you get a pjc without a lawyer?
-if so how?

And to help, the amount was $37 at a walmart, and it is my first offense.

Yes you can get a PJC for shoplifting. However, your best shot at getting one is to use a lawyer.

I don't have enough money for a lawyer. I barley make enough to pay my mom my phone bill every month.

So how can I ask for a pjc without having a lawyer? I don't want to just plea guilty and not give it a shot.

Sounds like you will qualify for a public defender!

I already applied for one and was denied

So can anyone tell me how to ask for a pjc at my next court date?

I can't afford a lawyer and was denied when I asked for a cour appointed lawyer.

How can I ask for a pjc without one?
