    I meant simple as in not convoluted or difficult to understand, not simple as in having no rammifications.

    Surely the public defendant will be well-versed in petty theft and knows about these...

    Retail Fraud / Shoplifting: Re: Petty Theft at Kmart

    I understand that. I guess "get a lawyer" is just the general response to threads no matter what the circumstances are.

    What I'm asking is, due to the simplicity of my case, do I really stand to...

    Retail Fraud / Shoplifting: Re: Petty Theft at Kmart

    Thanks for the reply. I can't afford a lawyer so I'll be using the public defender. When do we meet? On the day of the court appearance? Does the diversion program remove this misdemeanor from my...
