This is my first offense. The police were there so how can I plead not guilty? And I am fine with doing community service or probation and paying the fines. So can I just plead guilty and not go to jail?
I got caught shoplifting 35$ worth of stuff from (retail store) and have a court date on October 11th. The lady that caught me said she would be there and will tell them I was cooperative. What should I expect? What should I plead? Will I go to jail?
