bam!
Not many shopliters get jail time. WTF is a shopliter?
Also your question is flawed because it doesn't matter how many first offense shoplifters actually get jailtime. What matters is the law. The law says that if you commit a theft offense, you CAN receive jail time. It doesn't say a percentage receive jail time.
Shoplifting in Arizona is usually a class 1 misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine and jail time.
So before you spout off about no jail time and civil demand etc, learn the law. What happens previously or after this OP has no bearing on what will happen to them. What happens if the judge is pissed off that day or the Kohls has a deal with the States Attorney to send all their shoplifters to jail? These are things you need to think about before you make horrible posts.
