Yesterday my girlfriend and I were caught shoplifting at a target in. I'm going through some financial trouubles, and we thought that we could get some christmas presents. I've never done anything like this before (I've never even gotten a traffic ticket), and I don't know what's going to happen. They added the amounts of our items together and said we were both being charged with class B Misdemeanors, even though my girlfriend had less than 50 dollars on her.
I have been told that I will probably be able to get deferred adjudication, but for a class B misdemeanor I will only be able to get it covered up by a non-disclosure. Is there any way to get mine, my girlfriend's or both dropped to class C (Which I believe can be expunged)? Also, if it remains a class B and I get deferred, will future employers be able to see it when it gets "nondisclosed"?
Lastly, what would stop a judge from giving me differed on either the class B or class C since it's my first offence of any sort? What about my girlfriend (she's had 2 speeding tickets, but that's all.)
