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...
