Start calling Lawyers in the morning set up as many free consultations as you can. Ask about Diversion or similar programs

No, due to this part of your original post

What state is this in?

You need to talk to the Lawyer about this. I dont think its legal for store to seek Civil Demand and the DVD dealer as well

A $25.00 theft shouyld have a Civil Demand of around $250.00 give or take 50 bucks. I am not sure what you mean by dealer charge. The court fines should be less than $500.00. You can discuss payment plan on both. You shouyld be calling Lawyers and setting up consultations for those who offer...
