My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arizona.
I was caught shoplifting a 15$ paperback book a couple weeks ago. This is my first offense EVER. As such, I've never been to court and I'm SCARED AS HELL!! It really was an accident, I just forgot to pay for it before I left, but I AM GUILTY as shoplifting is defined. I'm 26 years old, my arraignment is in two days, and I don't know what to do!! Should I just plead guilty and bite the bullet?
