    Default Getting charges of petty larceny off of a criminal record

    I am a 24 year old studet, was couht at macys on aug 14, they stopped me at the front door, checked my bag, I had $80 worth of jewelry, they called the cops, took me to the precint and they took my fingerprints, gave me an apperance ticket to go to the court. At the precint, they told me that it would not affect my job once I showed up in court. This was at the city of Yonkers, NY. I went to court today aug 17, the court assigned me a lawyer, I am very worried right now because I asked the lawyer if it will affect my present job as a bank teller or any future job I apply and he told me that they might get a itchy about it if they perform another background check.
    I have to go back to court on october 17,
    how worried shoul I be?

    Default Shoplifting Conviction

    If your criminal history reflects a theft conviction, that can certainly affect the outcome of a background check by an employer.

    You should have gotten your own lawyer. Public Defender is the worst way to go. They aren't going to kill themselves to help you. You want the lowest senctance you can get if this is your first time. Ask your public defender whats the best that he can do for you, you want this kept off your record at all cost (the arrest will always be on your record, but that doesn't prove anything and jobs can't ask about that) you want supervision for what you did and the charges dropped (they don't get added to your record) after the supervision is served.
