Please give me some info.. Over a year ago I got caught shoplifting in a department store. It was a value of less than $1000. I went to jail over night, and got out on a PR bond. First of all, what IS a PR Bond and what does that mean?
So the judge let me do PTI. I started on the program, but then was unable to finish because of stupid reasons, so I was terminated from PTI. I received the letter saying I have been terminated and that they will contact me to let me know when my court date is and to continue on with the normal criminal prosecution.
I am very scared because I do not know what to expect. Will I have to go to jail? How much will the fine be....approximately? I am really scared about jail....is there even a chance that I will go to jail? And if the fine is huge, will they let me make payments.
Also...is there any chance that since it happened over a year ago...that the judge will let it slide a little more? And does a witness...or someone from the department store have to be there during the trial? If so..what if they dont show up.
Please just let me know what to expect.
