    Default Charged of 490.1 (A) Petty Theft Misdemeanor

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
    I am 16 years old and was caught shoplifting at JC Penney yesterday. I was given a ticket for 490.1 (a) petty theft misdemeanor. This was my first time offense and the shirt i took costs $12. At court, how would i best be able to get the charge against me dropped to a infraction instead of a misdemeanor.

    You should discuss your case with a lawyer in your county who handles cases with that juvenile court, and who is familiar with your home, school and community record, as well as the practices and policies of the local juvenile court.
