Ok...well me and two other friends took out some stuff that cost around 49.98....we knew the clerk (friend) and she scanned the items to take off the scanner so it wouldn't beep on the way out, we left and was at my friends house. She later called saying that her manager in plain clothes saw the whole thing and said to come back with the stuff....I did/ with the other two and we were banned....the police came and gave us a ticket. Class C misdeamenor....
my court date is coming up and i don't know what i should do?
i've asked a couple of attorney over the phone, and they tell me that i don't even have to show up to court and that they would try and get it dismissed....but i've read on her that an attorney isn't a good idea?
but i don't know
any help would be appreaciated.
