My question involves court procedures for the state of: California
I got caught stealing three pairs of earring from kohls, I feel terrible and I know I shouldn't have done it, they called me in and I gave them back, they seemed pretty layer back about everything, no cops were called, I had to sign a Civil Citation. Now what is going to happen? Will I have to go to court? Will I have a criminal record? I know I am banned from all kohls, but I stole from a town that I do not live in, so what is going to happen? If was probably maybe $50 worth of jewlery... I feel terrible. This is not like me at all, the one time I do something terrible I get caught. I just need advice from anyone that knows what's will happen to me... Thank you.
