If you have been charged, you need a lawyer. Conversion is up to a year and/or $5000 fine.
You can also expect to get a letter from walmart's "lawyers" for civil damanges.
You're lucky they only charged this as conversion. Shoplifting of any amount is a felony in Indiana. Conversion is only a misdemeanor.
In any even you need a lawyer. If you are indigent ask at your first appearance for a public defender.
