    Default 18 Years Old Got Caught Shoplifting

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA

    yea...i was stupid, listened to some friend who said it was easy and all blah blah blah.....hes not even a good friend...anyways
    it was costco, for two etx hdds, 220 total ive never done this before, so this is first offense.

    alrit- - im not gona write a whole essay about how much i regret this, so heres the meat:
    i was with a friend, he was a minor, the store manager first say they r gona let us go if our parents come pick us up, so my friend called his parents, and i did the same, though my mom didnt pick up her phone and my dad's phone is dead(though she called me back, it was too late).... so they thought it wouldnt be fair to let one of us go so they called their supervisor and he said go ahead and prosecute us.

    the cop let me skip the jail and just gave me a citation because i'm still in high school.

    if this info might help in court: in school, im involved in many community service clubs, good grades, cum laude society, California scholarship federation etc....

    I REALLY DONT WANT THIS TO BE ON MY RECORD, AND I DONT HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY (NO DUH- -) AND I AM AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT, WHILE MY PERMANENT RESIDENCY STILL IN PROCESS. IVE BEEN CURRENTLY ACCEPTED INTO A UC, AND I NEED LOANS ETC, so the best i can do is ask them to appoint me a lawyer............ SO does anyone know what i can do? do they have programs such as you complete it the charge will be dismissed?.. or i can talk to the appointed lawyer and have him try to lower the charge to an infraction?....

    thanks for your help...
