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 trialI 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
