My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York
I was arrested last week at a convenience store for shoplifting $115 worth of merchandise. While I was being kept at the manager's office, I signed a document stating that I had attempted to steal the merchandise, and after that I was brought to the police station and released on $50 bail. My court date isn't for another six weeks. I'm only 22, and this is my first time ever getting into any sort of legal trouble (I don't even have any traffic tickets on my record). On Monday, I'm meeting with a lawyer for a consultation.
My question is: how likely is it that I will be able to get an ACoD? And, if I am charged with a fine, how much do you think it would be for?
