My question involves criminal law for the state of: Montana
Was caught for shoplifting at Walmart the merchandise was worth 118 and a cop gave me a ticket and said I had to appear at court by a certain date. I am a minor and was caught for shoplifting 3 years ago. (I know stupid me). My first offence i did not receive a ticket and i only had to talk to someone not appear in court and they had me pay a fine of 100 dollars , and They said if I dident do anything for 2 years my offence would be dropped off of my record. Now my question is;
1) will my first offence reappear or can they see my first offence since it was wiped of my record?
2) will I be able to make my second offence dropped of off my record?
3) Do I need an attorney and if i do can i get a free one that is provide for the people who cant pay for one?
4) will this effect my FASFA for college next year?
5) once i turn 18 my juvenile record is sealed right? so no one will be able to see it like when I need to get a job when older?
