This is in response to the last private message that I sent you. UPDATE! 1. My daughter DID NOT need a lawyer. 2. We DID NOT go in front of the judge. 3. She did not receive a fine or court costs of any kind. 4. The referee said to my daughter, "You are a good kid!" 5. She has to write an apology to Walmart. 6. She has to write an 8 page paper on the affects of retail fraud. 7. 8 hours of community service ( I am sure you were hoping for jail time). 8. Attend 4 Peer Plus classes.
The people at the courthouse were so nice. Since she is a very SUCCESSFUL and busy athlete, they are working around all of her practice and game schedules so she won't have to miss anything. They assured me that since the charges were deferred that NO ONE will ever have access to any court records. And, I am not going to pay Bennett Law anymore $. I have only sent them $10 since the incident in Sept. The referree informed me that he would be contacting Walmart because double jeopardy is against the law. In case you do not know what that means, no one can be charged twice for the same crime!
If you truly are a man of your word, my charity of choice would be the Side-out Foundation that raises money for breast cancer research. You can find it in the internet.
Have a great day and please think twice before offering your expert advice.
This post is for CYJEFF.
niu,
As you can see from my previous post to CYJEFF, everything turned out okay. I truly believe she has learned her lesson and I am thankful that she wasn't older where the consequences could have been much worse.
Thank you again. You good luck wishes helped.
