Im 18 and was caught shoplifting in WI. I can pay my citation and choose not to go to court or I can show up on my scheduled date. What happens if I show up? I basically already admitted to being guilty so should I plead no contest? Will they provide a lawyer for me? The bottom line is I want to clear my record no matter what it takes...I just don't want to mess anything up.
Get a criminal defense attorney. They can help you find the best defense and assist you with your case. They can tell you what the State needs to prove in order to find you guilty.
Lawyers, either public or private are invaluable when facing criminal theft charges.
