My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Arizona, so I was recently caught shoplifting 400$ worth of stuff like clothes, makeup and jewelry. I'm only 15 and I was just wondering what will happen later on with the court, fines and charges?

If you're tried as a result this may involve felony charges, the threshold is $500. Even as a misdemeanor you can go to jail.
As a child you could be adjudicated delinquent which could result in serious sanctions as well. You need to have your parents inquire about an attorney for you.
What are the chances of me going to jail?
That will depend on the court's policies and impressions of you, along with your home, school, community, and prior police records.
I don't know where my mind was but the first sentence should read "If you are tried as an ADULT" not result.
