    Default Caught Shoplifting With a Prior Offense

    I am 18 years old and I got caught shop lifting today 7/23/2010
    . I got banned from that store, wal mart and the cop wrote me a ticket and it says I have to go to court.. I shop lifted 2 years ago.. I had to take some class for it.. Idk what happened to me today.. I just wasn't thinking right.. I stole 2 things.. Together about $50.. Do you think I'm going to jail? Or what should I be expecting.. At court please help me I don't know what's going to happen.. Should I just say goodbye to my life?

    ....but bear in mind (and I'm not trying to scare you) that Walmart are known to be rabid about prosecuting shoplifters.

    No, you will not go to jail. You will pay a fine, so make sure you have a few hundred dollars saved up by the time of your court date. You will be offered a six-month deferred sentence. Do NOT steal again. Do not go any stores owned by THAT store again or you will get charged with criminal trespassing.
    Your life is not over.
