    Default Will I be going to jail for shoplifting?

    Ok, back in late October 2005 I was fired from McDonald's because I stole alot of cases of things that had the McDonalds Monopoly pieces on them along with the Best Buy dollars, which came out to be:
    Misdameanor Embezlment - $200-$1000
    I hired a lawyer and I havnt had the final court date yet, but he said that I will be being on CPC-Citizens Probationary Council (which is so if i get another misdameanor within a years time i would go to court over the McDonalds thing. if i dont get in trouble i wouldnt be charged with it) along with paying restitution to McDonalds.

    Well 2 weeks ago I was caught stealing some razors (totaled out to about $25) from Farmer Jacks and had the police called on me, and was arrested and was being charged with retail fraud.

    Im thinking this retail fraud will count against me on the McDonalds case... but I wasnt sure :/ as it happend before I have been actually sentenced to CPC... but the other court date for the retail fraud, will end up being after im sentenced...

    is their anything I can do, or will i just end up going to jail?
    Thanks for any information to help me.

    When you were arrested the second time, the cops more than likely found out your status. It will probably be brought up when you go to court for the CPC sentencing and that would change things. If you haven't done so already, you'd better tell your lawyer, they hate surprises like that in front of the judge.
