Will I be needing a lawyer? For 20$ I've been expecting I guess community service but I've never been charged with a crime before so I need to know the basics too. Should I plead not guilty? If I am charged idk they were so unclear and the cop said it was up to the juvenile court or something...
I'm sorry i don't know how to edit but wow I thought I could get away with only my aunt knowing but they went to my mom's address too.
1. what record is this going/staying on
2. what fine should i be expecting?
3. should i expect a court case?
Yes, I got caught shoplifting, I was terrified and now I'm terrified again.
What i want to know is will i be pressed charges against from these 'words' and records, etc.
I'm 16 in Washington state (not DC) and they caught me with about 20$ worth of stuff. The cops were called because no...
