My question involves criminal law for the state of: Louisiana
Hello Everyone:
I have a typical situation. I worked at Sears and was caught on tape slipping money into my purse and skip scanning. I didnt do it just to do it, it was for lunch and family. LP called me in the back room and questioned me. I was honest about the whole situation. They asked me to write down what happened. The head manager decided to prosecute and the police were called. They gave me a misdemeanor for theft and took my fingerprints. I was not handcuffed or put in a police car. Because I was 17 my mom was not called. This happened july 24, 2008 and its august 22, 2008. I have not recieved my supena in the mail yet but when i go to court will i go to jail?? It is my first offense and i just graduated high school. I turn 18 in 5 days..do I need a lawyer? Plead guilty? What will happen?
Your answers are greatly appreciated. Thank You!
