Hello, i am 21 year old married woman with a 1 yr old baby. I had my first arrest not so long ago and i got caught the second time the same month. I totally regret what i did, i disgust myself. I know nothing about the law. I stupidly did the same mistake without thinking. I regret every night about it and my court date is this month on the 26. I am scare to death not to see my baby again. I can't sleep just thinknig about what should i do! Please help me what should i do. I am not a bad person, i am falling into depression! Is there a way the judge can understand me?? I am not a bad person! I love my baby with all my heart and i dont want to lose her!
Unless you used your baby in the theft its unlikely that would even be on table. However since this is second offense jail is option. You need a Lawyer to discuss plea option to make this as painless as possible. I would also suggest you enrollin a Anti Shoplifting course (before court). This will show Judge your being proactive in righting your wrong. Always a god thing and might result in lighter sentence. I can recommend one this site approves of if you like.
