My question involves criminal law for the state of: new york.
so me and my friend got caught shoplifting (our items were $20 EACH) but the security guard put our items together (cause he thought we helped each other steal) so the amount was $40. he told us that we ONLY have to pay $40, but i got the letter telling me to pay $198.72.......? we even called target corp. and the lady that picked up looked up our case and said we only have to pay $40 too! what do i do?
