I was arrested for Grand Theft on November 18th. I was released the follwing day on a Pre-Trial Release Bond at my first appearance. The total of what was taken was $454.71. This also is my first offence, oh, I should probably mention I am 18 years of age. I signed a statement saying what I took, and was willing to pay restitution back to my employer before I was informed I was being arrested to my Employers loss prevention management, I did not see this statement in my files, and was not given a copy, the police officer who arrested me however did get a copy. I cannot afford a lawyer so I have been assigned a Public Defender, I have never had to go through this kind of situation so I'm completely lost, and have no idea on how to approach this. So I am wondering what kind of punishment I am looking at? I'm curious if you ( whoever helps me ) thinks I will be looking at jail time. Any help no matter how little will help in a very big way. Thank you very much for any help and taking the time to read my idiotic actions.
