My question involves criminal law for the state of: TN
My 19 yr old daughter was recently arrested at Walmart for theft. ($35.00)
and goes to court next week. The problem is (besides stealing) she was fined - not arrested - because a car she was a passenger in was pulled over and she got a ticket for a piece - a speck really - of marijuana on her shirt. She was fined and is paying cost of 540.00. This happened this past summer.Now this. Will she serve jail time? I have know she is not allowed in ANY Walmart - unless she writes a letter in 2 yrs. But she has been trying to turn her life around and has just become a CNA and will take the state exam in a week. She is however employed there now and would like to keep this under wraps. Please advise. PS can we go to court with out an lawyer? Limited funds.
