My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maine
Hello. I'm a 17year old female. I went to Kohls and attempted to steal 3 pair of shoes per a friend's suggestion. The total amount attempted stolen was a bit under $200. I realise that this was stupid. But, I was wondering what I'm facing.
My court date is in early August. But the bad thing is, I'll be turning 18 shortly. Even though I'm under age, could I still get the sentence of an adult? Also, is there any way that I won't get the max sentence? I heard from a friend that I'm facing 6 months in jail and an 1000 dollar fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
