    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida

    Charge: petty theft 2nd degree value under 100
    location: walmart
    offense: first time
    age:20
    attitude: compiled with everybody
    Police came and arrest me on paper meaning he gave me a yellow paper with my right thumbprint and told me i will receive a appear to court letter.


    Questions:
    How to get the judge to offer me a pretrial diversion program?
    How to not get this charge on my record without the use of an attorney?
    what to say in court if the judge doesn't offer me another option?

    thank, please don't tell me i shouldn't have committed a crime I know what i did was wrong...

    You can start by exploring whether diversion programs are available in your jurisdiction, and whether you qualify, then either you or your lawyer can approach the prosecutor with the possibility of your completing a diversion program.

    You don't plea bargain with the judge.

    Given that you have very little understanding of the legal process, it would be sensible for you to retain a lawyer. You can start by consulting some lawyers to see what they believe they could accomplish for you.
