My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio, in Lorain County
I was recently caught shoplifting, I know I did it, they know I did it (they have security cameras) so should I plead guilty, or no-contest (what does nocontest even mean?) I wasnt planning on getting a lawyer, so what should I expect from the court (what will the proceedings be like, will I have to address the court, ect.), this is my first offense, and what I stole totaled 17.56 with tax.
I AM VERY SORRY AND I LEARNED MY LESSON.
