    Default Help With Shoplifting Charges

    I was caught shoplifting at a Kohls store in Louisville, Kentucky on Tuesday, May 2. The total value of the merchandise was $84 dollars. I am almost 19 yrs. old, and my court date is May 22. I've never been to court, and my criminal record ( I'm pretty sure) is perfect. What can they do to me? The guys who caught me advised me to hire an attorney, but I really don't have the money for it (I don't want to tell my parents), is it really benefitial? I also heard that Kohls is really tough on shoplifters- is this true, and could I go to jail?!? I need advice A.S.A.P. because my court date is so soon. PLEASE HELP!! I would be soo gratefull!!

    When facing criminal prosecution one should always have legal representation. You have much to lose. You can of course request a public deefender. Look into diversion and se if you qualify.

    It is out of kohls hands on how tough the it gets now.. they made it tough by calling the police and civil suing you. It is all up to the judge, you , and a attorney now. The judge can fine you, give you jail time, give you community service, etc.
