to the police, not the store. It has to be one page long.
What do you recommend she writes? What points should she cover?

*what she ws thinking when she did it
*why she did it
*why she now knows that what she did was wrong
*what she has learned from the experience
*how she will prevent it from ever happening again
*what she will do to educate her peers on the consequences of such behavior
*what she plans to do to earn the extra money to pay the fine
it's a start...........I do hope your friend learned from her experience and won't do it again.

As others have said, it's not a felony. She will most likely pay a fine and have some community service, if she has shoplifted before, then she may be looking at jail time depending on the laws of the area you are in. The state/province will apoint her a lawyer if she cannot afford one usually. In the US these are her Miranda Rights. I suggest either way that she gets counseling around her compulsion to shoplift.

I truly hope there were about 8 more parts to the sentence that included probation, remuneration, community service, etc.?
How freaking spineless is it when someone has to write a letter to the police saying they are sorry....? What has our judicial system come to???????

She should just say, what I did was wrong and I feel bad about what I did and I regret every bit of it. Mostly just go into details on those topics. Then it wont take long. Plus its nice for the police.

I hope no one answers this. If your 'friend' does not know what to write, then I think she should throw on some county colors.
I mean no disrespect; however either she knows what to write OR she should get a different penalty.
I wish you well!

If she has to ask for help on this letter, it almost makes me wonder if she even knew what she did was wrong until after they arrested her and had to explain it to her.
Fortunately, ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

Admission of the case must be emphasized so that it can be used as a mitigating circumstance to lower the penalty or even exonerate your friend of the crime.

How stupid. Its a wonder that she didn't have to write it on the 'blackboard'. To the store would have been more appropriate.
