I was caught at Walmart in October (CA). I took the paper strips out of a box of wax, put them in my purse and did not pay for them. The cost that they charged was $6.28. I will have to pay a fine to Walmart, and I cannot enter to walmart again. A police officer went to the store and gave me a notice to appear in court on december 14. Is my first time offense, I've been in the US for 6 months and I am really scary about the court. In October I sent a letter of apology to Walmart, I am genuinily regretful, I learned my lesson. I don't know what is going to happen to me on wednesday, someone can help me? I really need a Lawyer or not?
this is going to be finish on wednesday or I will have to go to the court again? Which will be my punishment? Can I Leave and enter the country witout problem? (I have a visa)
