My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
I am 22 and I was caught today at Sephora, with the amount $317, I signed a civil demand paper that the LP gave me, the police came took my finger prints and gave me a citation.
My court date will be held next month.
Could I do get into a Diversion Program or a Deferred entry of judgement?
What do they mean anyways?
What would happen to me in court?
If I get the civil demand letter and pay the fine before the court, would it help?
What else should i do?
thank you
