I am 53, disabled, mother and grandmother.. and did a REALLY stupid thing.. and now I am TERRIFIED and have NO IDEA what to do... i was caught shoplifting at the self check out at walmart. I didn't scan an item $3.99 .. and I have NO idea WHY ... but.. police were called, I was arrested but not taken to the station, i am banned from walmart of course and was issued a ticket, have court appearance, they said it was "misdemeanor theft". I can't eat.. sleep.. I feel HORRIBLE about this.. The only trouble I've EVER been in before was a bad check YEARS ago, that I quickly resolved. I have had maybe two speeding tickets, and was fined for "dog at large" .. again.. YEARS ago...I need to know what to expect in court.. date is set for July 31st. I can't afford an attorney. My disability is less than $1000 a month. Will i have to go to jail? Should I ask for diversion when i first get before the judge? I have NO idea what to do ... I just wish I hadn't been so STUPID.
