    Default New Jersey Shoplifting Kohls 20 Years Old Police Called. What to Expect

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey
    Stole merchandise from kohls, $80 worth, court tuesday. had to sign paper saying i did it, confronted as i was walking out, am not allowed back in kohls. will pay the $150 they ask for in a letter in the mail but what i am worried about is court. yes, i am remorseful for being talked into this.

    1. Plea guilty or not guilty?
    2. How much will this cost me over all in court?

    unless you simply want to accept the charges as written with no possibility of either a plea deal or defending yourself at all, you plead not guilty at your arraignment. Then, if you are indigent, you ask for a public defender. If not, you can then go and hire an attorney, if you haven't already.

    as to costs; no idea of the end costs of this for you. If you hire an attorney, I would suspect around a grand. to the court fines and such; no idea at all.

    I wonder if the civil issue will be resolved through a settlement offer wherein the "shoplifter" does not acknowledge the theft?

    Eh? Kohl's doesn't care if they admit the theft or not as long as the damages are paid. Normally they make you sign that you did it at the time so the civil claim is clear but usually sending in the check alone is all that is required to settle the civil claim.
