Hey
After you've been arrested for shoplifting at a major dept store (like Macys) what are the chances that the store is going to send out a "civil fine?" (I believe that's what they're called)
...
What did the police say when you returned the items? More charges??
Yes this sounds really interesting. Do share :)
Hey
I'm meeting my attorney (this will be our first meeting) and I would like to know what to bring and expect (I want to be as ready as I can because I'm flying out of state for college in two...
But in this case, I gave the item back so that's pretty much an admission of guilt....so should I just be completely honest with the judge then since there's no way around it?
Wow, that's not cool.
Thanks for your honest assessment
And your own personal account relieves me. If you don't mind me asking, why did you spend a weekend in jail immediately after being arrested?
Ok thanks :)
Now, my court date (first appearance) is in a month. I am the defendant but who will the prosecutor(s) be?
Would it be the security guards from the clothing store or the police...
It's alright ;)
QUESTION 1:
Then would the judge simply knowing the truth (that I didn't want to give too many items back as I was trying to keep it under the $150 limit) be better?
I gave...
Hey again Blue Eagle.
Yes it is shoplifting. Here's my story

I dont want to be too specific but it's a midwest state ;)
Couldn't they have added a note on my case to court? (about me lying)
I mean, regardless, they would have to change my charge because instead of 2 items stolen, it has be changed to 3 now...so...
Thanks for the thorough reply Kandi6
Crazy...
Yes I'll be seeing my attorney for the first time tomorrow ;)
Thanks for the replies.
The only way you can get raped in prison is if you have a really bad cellmate right?
I mean...where else? In the common room where you can get ganged up?

Not really...it's about whether I consiously knew I still had a stolen merchandise on me or I knew all along and was trying to keep it secret.
Do you think me not knowing sounds legit? I had a...
I don't believe I was charged with lying because they found out about the second belt just a few minutes before the patrol car came (to pick me up from the police station and bring me back to my car)...
Hello
I attend college have never been arrested prior to this.
I'm charged with a misdemeanor in retail theft at a clothing store (4 items totaling between $300 - $400) which is a felony in my...
ah, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you :)
correct
Now my other question:
Should I also tell him how I would lie after I told them the truth?
Thanks
Ok. But if I plead guilty, then the security guard would simply bring up the fact that I returned the stolen merchandise (clothes) that was concealed on me. The exact same merchandise they saw me...
Is this likely or is it only an occurrence in prisons?
I am thin, I look really young for my age (21), and I'm white
Thank you for your time
I was caught shoplifting and I handed over all the stolen items in the security room.
Now, can you still plead "not guilty" even though it was evident that I shoplifted because I returned the...
Thanks for the replies
I now understand the difference. :)
Why would the prosecutor offer to lessen my sentence if I committed a crime against that person?
