My question involves criminal law for the state of: A class B misdemeanor
This was my first and last time and I was caught stealing 52 dollars worth of material. I don't know what to do and I am worried that I may receive jail time. I was kept in the store for 2 hours, waiting for HPD and they never arrived. So I did not receive a ticket, but was told to call the next day. I called and they didn't have my case in the system. So I was told that I will more than likely have to wait 7-10 business days. I cannot afford an attorney and will ask for one in court, Is here any possibility that my case could be dismissed? Should I plead not guilty? I have no idea whats going to happen and how long this process will take. I have learned my lesson and not even the thought of shoplifting will pass my mind. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Always plead not guilty. Your lawyer if you get one will tell you that.

Possibilities are endless but it's hard to know what will happen in getting it dismissed or not.
