My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey. am 21 years old and being charged with taking 650 dollars worth of merchandise from the Microsoft store it is my first offense and I have a clean record but for a stupid domestic charge between me and my gf which was dropped completely 2 years ago and a theft charge that was reduced to an ordinance because i found a stolen phone on the ground also got in trouble when I was in 8th grade :/ but i believe these were only arrests the charges were always dropped I am a straight a student deans list at college and have my associates I am very scared but everyone is saying no jail just fines and maybe probation is that true?
