    Default First Time Shoplifter

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York

    I am a 20-year-old college student in New York City that was caught shoplifting $65 worth of make up at Sephora. I received a Desk Appearance Ticket. It is a first-time offense.

    I cannot afford an attorney or lawyer. Without one, is it still possible for me to ask for/receive an ACD (Adjournment in contemplation of dismissal)? If so, how would I go about doing that?

    Any advice related to this question/shoplifting charges in general would be very helpful. I'm applying to graduate school programs in a few months and I'm truly concerned about my future.

    An acd is still possible,plead not guilty and ask for a pubic defender. Ask for an acd and don't just accept a plea to disorderly conduct which is offered at times,an acd is a better result.
