    Default Shoplifting in New York, Second Offence

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York.
    I did it again :-( First time it happened about 5 years ago, my attorney at that time was able to reduce the charges to disorderly conduct and seal the record.
    Is the first offence going to show up this time? What am I facing for second time offence of the similar charges 155.25? Total merchandise stole on $142.
    Should I plead not guilty at the arraignment?

    Thank you all.
    I hate myself….

    Criminal records always seem to "show up" at the worst possible time and it's likely that the prosecutor will have access even if nobody else does. Might make a difference if you were under 18 at the time.

    Misdemeanors generally carry a fine of up to $2500 and a year in jail. That's not to say you'll get that kind of penalty but the judge will have a lot of discretion.

    I think you'll hate yourself even more when you have to pony up a thousand or two for your lawyer.

    Get one.
