    Most first offense shoplifting conviction do not result in any jail time. That being said it would be in your best interest to consult with a criminal defense Attorney before your next court date

    Thanks for help. When you say "Most first offense shoplifting conviction do not result in any jail time.", can you please be more specific under what kind of situation the first offense shoplifting conviction result in jail time? I am really regretful and worried as I am a college student and a jail time could force me to withdraw from my school to serve in the jail.

    It depends on judge I nor anyone here can give you that reply. You have a 99% chance (depending on details of case) that you will not see any jailo time for a first offense shoplifting case.
