My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia, Lawrenceville
Im about to go to court for a charge of shoplifting items worth around $180. my court date is on Feb 1. This will be my first offence and i decided to take this semester of school off due to the stress i been undergoing. Besides that, my question revolves around a pre-trial diversion. When am i able to get it? how do i get it? do i ask the judge at my first trail?
by the way in georgia its a misdemeanor
