Thanks for your responses.

Pardon my ignorance, this is all really too new to me.

If any one from Wal-Mart just so happens to be at my hearing can they also show the judge my confession letter and further incriminate me for shoplifting of air bed at later notice? Even though that was not part of the charge, they knew beforehand that I had did it anyway. Would that be allowed or no? Whats the likelihood of something like that happening?

Had a realistic dream about my case last night and it seemed highly probable that would happen. That or I'm thinkin' too much.
