Shoplifting

[Laur]

What punishment will first time offenders receive? They also have previous criminal record not shoplifting related

 

[cbg]

And this would be in what US state? They are charged with exactly what violation?)

(if there is a previous criminal record, then they are not a first time offender even if the previous offense was not shoplifting.

Your best bet is to talk to a lawyer & only the lawyer.

If you have any prior criminal history this will weigh into sentencing. What was prior offense?
