i got caught shoplifting at kmart. I know it was wrong and i am so scared now. I have no idea what the laws are or what i should do. All i know is that its a petty mideamenor. The first court date is next month and i am out of state in college and would be unfeasible to try and fly back. I dont know if i could get a lawyer to plead for me in my place. Please if anyone can help me with my problem i would be really grateful.

I suspect from the poster's handle that the state is Hawaii.
Are you still in Hawaii? If so, consult a lawyer about the possibility of resolving the matter before you leave. If not, the best approach is what rmet4nzkx suggested. -

It may be possible; it's a criminal charge, so that would require the prosecutor cutting you a big break.
