    Default When Does My Court Date Come and What Will Happen

    hey a few days ago i was caught shoplifting a $6 dollars item
    and they called the police so he got down my information
    and probably put it on my record, then he talked to the store manager
    what she wants to do. It is my first offense and im a minor 15. After she filled out this form and they talked i dont know what happened after... i'm guessing their gonna prosecute me and send me a letter to go to court? cause the store says they do prosecute. The police or the store manager didn't tell me what was going to happen, so im confused... Also how long does it take for them to send a court date if they do? & whats the process? thanks


    im in massachusetts

    Default Re: When Does My Court Date Come and What Will Happen

    It takes as long as it takes - the police make a report, a prosecutor reviews it and authorizes charges, the court schedules a hearing and sends out a notice... it all happens on their time, not yours. If you haven't done so yet, it sounds like it's time to tell your parents about what happened.
