My question involves criminal law for the state of: shoplifting
Hi, i was caught shoplifting at a store this summer. I had to go to court and they gave me 25 hours of community service. about a month ago, i returned to the court to hand in the paper with completed hours. When i thought i got all the punishment that i deserved, a mail was sent to my home from the store recently, demanding 250 dollars. i thought since i have to deal with either the community service or civil demand; i did not expected to be responsible for both. am i wrong?
I did all my community service without my parents finding out and that one letter from the store messed everything up. now my parents knows everything and i'm just depressed as hell. Do i have to pay the bill to those mindless bastards?
