Hi,

I was caught shoplifting in Macy's 6 months back. I hired a lawyer (thought a pretty good and paid nearly $6000) and she is fighting my case. It was a memorial day sale and teh goods were actually worth around $210. But the loss and prevention dept charged me with the actual retail value and inflated the amount to $600.

After 4 Pretrails today the prosecutor is coming up with a horrible deal: Here is the email sent by my lawyer

The prosecutor called me with a new offer:

Plead to burglary and grand theft. Spend one day in jail and 20 days of CALTRANS. 3 years summary probation and stay away from Macy's. You can:
1. Take the deal
2. Continue to fight the case and see if they lower the charges.
3. Take the case to trial
I applied for my labor and now my green card processing is in I-140 stage[/b]
.

can anyone suggest what should I be doing? I am not able to think anymore. I feel like putting an end to myself Never imagined this would be the outcome of my doing.

This is my first criminal offence!
Please help
