My question involves criminal law for the state of: Oregon

My boyfriend is 20 years old and is going to court next week for his sentencing for shoplifting $500 worth of merchandise from Fred Meyers and this is his first offense. I am very worried about what will happen to him. His public defender told us that he would most likely get bench probation, but I am scared that he will face jail time. Is jail a possability? We have a baby on the way and have never beenin this situation before, any advice helps.
