My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia
Recently I shoplifted from Walmart. The total cost of merchandise was $66. This lady saw me putting something in my bag. After I bought something I was on my way out to leave the store but a guy and lady stopped me and asked me to return their things and I can be on my way. This was my first time ever stealing and I was embarrassed, ashamed, and scared. They took me to this back room and asked me to remove the things I took. Then she asked for my information. I was scared and thought if I returned the stuff she would let me go but she didn't. I gave her a false name and a false SSN. The officer then came in and I was so scared to say I lied I gave him the wrong information too. I went back up to Walmart a couple days later to give my real information but all the lady said was she will take both names to court to determine who I really am. I have to go to court Friday, October 18th. I'm scared and wonder what will happen to me. Will I get jail time? Have to pay for an attorney? It's my first offense I'm 19 and have no job at the time. Please help my nerves have been bad ever since and I would like to hear any answers.
