Hi,
So I posted about a month and a half ago when I was caught shoplifting. i had hired a lawyer, we went to court once to gather evidence and had our next court date scheduled for next week, but earlier this week I was caught shoplifting again. I already told my lawyer and he said this has complicated things tremendously and his main goal is to keep me out of jail. I was very cooperative, but at the second time at the police station, they actually had a detective come out and talk to me (and he knew of the prior shoplifting offense) and he gave me the whole "you need to get your shit together" thing, but was very nice to me and told me that I would be okay and that i had my age and college student plus working status working for me and that I would probably get off pretty easily. However, my lawyer is freaking me out because he said I violated my bond and that I should be nervous. I'm enrolling in psychiatry because everyone seems to think the stress of my mom having cancer is a factor to it (not that I am at ALL putting blame on to that, I'm responsible for my own actions). I was also thinking about doing that NASP program. But truthfully, how stressed do I need to be? I mean I'm a working college student, do you think they're really going to put me in jail?

at what being a thief!!?? You lauhged at the court system by stealing a second time. Judges do not like that! Jail is a very real option at this point. The time worry was before you decided to walk out of a store with unpaid for merchandise not now. Yes email, call, visit your Lawyer you need him bad now. Your fines will be higher, probation longer, extra community service along with jail. You need this Lawyer bad!! Try to complete the NASP course before court so you can show Judge. Read what happened to other poster in links admin gave you. Your in deep doo doo here and you can guanateed a criminal record after this. This could have negative impact on any scholarship you might currently have as well.
