I was recently arrested and released with a ticket for petty theft. I have an arraignment scheduled but I don't know what to do or expect. I have read that there are diversion programs, but I'm not exactly sure how that works. I want to know if and how I can qualify for that.
I was caught shoplifting about two months ago and I'm so ashamed. I have an arraignment scheduled soon. It's my first offense and I have never been in trouble with the law before, not even traffic tickets. At the time I was caught I was arrested and given a ticket and was let go within an hour...
