    Default Shoplifting With A Prior

    I shoplifted some Dvd's a few years ago because my husband and I were getting married and I didn't have money to purchase him a ring. I can't believe I did it. I come from a good conservative Christian home and was under severe emotional distress when I did this. I was taking them out of my purse when I was caught and didn't fight the case because I didn't want to shame my family. I should have faught it.

    Yesterday, I was having an extremely emotionally overwhelming day and went shopping with my two year old. Finances are difficult and I decided to purchase what I could with my Target card for Valentines Day. I go into the store to realize that I didn't have enough money to purchase some simple items. I freaked out thinking of not being able to celebrate such a simple holiday. So I stole a simple piece of lingerie, chocolates, 4 greeting cards and a pack of magnets to use for a project for my son's valentine to his grandparents.

    I GOT CAUGHT as I was walking out.

    I was taken to the office and the police were called. They said they would have to take me in immediately since it was a shoplifting offense with a prior, but the station messaged them back that I had no time served in jail for the last offense and so they ticketed me. Could this still end up turning in to a felony case with jail time??????

    What is going to happen in court? What can I do to get this taken down to a felony offense with no jail time? I want to be home for my family!!
