    Default Shoplifting in Oregon

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Oregon

    The state of Oregon only has theft charge and no shoplift charge.
    But the city Eugene in Oregon has both theft charge and shoplift charge.

    I got caught of shoplifting in a store two weeks ago for 34 dollars merchandise. The police give me a citation with code 4.822 and charge me theft III. I just check the Eugene city code, shoplift under $50 is Shoplift II (code 4.825). and theft under $50 in Theft III (code 4.822). I can't find which penalty is less grave. And this is my first offense.

    my questions are:

    (1) Can I be charge as theft III when I think I should be charge as shoplift II by Eugene City Code? (When the Oregon code only has theft no shoplift)

    (2) Should I plea guilty of theft III under such circumstance on my first appear in court?

    (3) How do I ask judge's permission for diversion program or the permission for treat class C misdemeanors as class A violation?

    (4) How do I show the judge that I am remorse of shoplifting instead of remorse about being caught?

    They have the right to ammend the charge
    (2) Should I plea guilty of theft III under such circumstance on my first appear in court?
    When you appear before the judge he will ask you how you plead

    Plead Guilty and be sentanced then and there

    Plead Not Guilty and ask for a Public Defender. You court date will be continued
    (3) How do I ask judge's permission for diversion program or the permission for treat class C misdemeanors as class A violation?
    Your Public Defender will be the one to explore whatever options are available
    (4) How do I show the judge that I am remorse of shoplifting instead of remorse about being caught?
    You don't

    Be well dressed, clean, attentive to whatever the Judge says
