I am 18 and was caught shoplifting 50 dollars worth of stuff from Sephora in NY. I am so scared! I was detained and they took my fingerprints and pictures. i have to go to court on July 24 and my arresting officer told me i don't need an attorney but one will be present at the court. What kind of consequences am i facing? Will it stay on my permanent record or can i get it expunged? Thanks so much for ANY HELP or ADVICE!!!
