if you stole something, you deserve to go to jail until you understand that stealing is wrong.
be grateful you were nabbed in the US...in a LOT of other countries, you'd be learning to write with your other hand...the only one you'd have left!
what the hell were you thinking?

Counsult a lawyer who is experienced with the Court you're in. There may be a diversion program for first time offenders you could quaify for.

LOL youre such an amateur, the first rule to shoplifting is NOT GETTING CAUGHT.......
youll either pay a fine and get a few months of probation, or a few months in jail, whichever....

You'll probably get a fine and possibly community service. Don't do it again or you could land in jail - you could this time, but probably won't.
Ask a lawyer what it would take to have it expunged from your record.

it will be on your "permenant record" for the rest of your life.
it will follow you everywhere, jobs, credit, house buying
was it worth it?
