My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Mexico
I was caught shoplifting at Khols about a month ago. I tooks some clothes and walked outside. A cop came and took me to jail and I was booked.
I spoke to a public defender and I was told to plead not guilty. And then I recieved another court date.
The court date is coming up pretty soon, and I already have a public defender.. I'm nervous and I don't want this on my record..
