    Is this a real question? If so, approximately the same that happened to you when you were caught 3rd, 4th, and 5th time, if you were convicted for those incidents. You are almost certain to get a jail time, regardless of the dollar value of the merchandise.

    Wow, you must like paying those Civil Demands and Court Fines!

    May I recommend you take an anti-shoplifting class and seek some counseling?

    Whatever mercy the court may have shown in the past, expect it to be at or near the VERY bottom of the barrel. Misdemeanor convictions can result in incarceration for up to a year, so if you've been able to get through prior cases without seeing that kind of time, now is the time to start getting used to that idea.

    What a judge may or not do is really depended on the court you are appearing in. I've known for judges to sentence shoplifters to nearly maximum sentences after their second conviction. And then, there's the judge who made this statement,"I'm sentencing you to 4 years in the state penitentiary - this is your 26th conviction. I'm tired of seeing you. You are a menace to retailers."

    It really depends.
