I'm 20 years old, and on a whim, I took some fashion jewelry from Macy's. Then I headed to JC Penney and took some more. However, I felt guilty and decided that I would go back to Macy's, return the stuff, and then double back to JC Penney to the same. I didn't want to return the JC Penney things immediately because I didn't want to draw attention to myself. I was caught by JC Penney security, had my picture taken and the police came. I have never done anything like this before and am incredibly shaken from the ordeal. My court date is coming up, and I wanted to know if there's any way to get this removed from my record and prevent a conviction...I really wasn't planning on taking the things home and had no one interfered everything would have been returned. Security told me I'm going to be fined five times the value of the taken merchandise (I took $43 worth); can I be charged that much? Also, how much are court fees? I live in New York.
