Hello,
Well I know I made a huge mistake. Trust me. About 5 weeks ago I was caught shoplifting with a friend of mine. The LP guy said that if we just came with him and sign a paper that we'd pay and not come back he wouldn't call the police. Well he counted everything I'm not sure how much mine was but I think he put between $80 and $100 but after I signed it he said we get letters in the mail. We stood there waiting for almost an hour waiting for him to say we could leave then he told us he had called the police and we would be ticketed if we had no previous charges. To make matter worse I had my 2 your old son with me so of course I broke down crying, I really tried not to bc I didn't want them to think I wanted sympathy. Every half hour he'd say if they're not here in 10 minutes ill let u guys go. An hour and a half later they did come they "arrested us" but didn't take us anywhere just gave us a ticket with a court date. This is my first and only run in with the law and is something I regret more than anything. I am 21 and live in Ca. I cannot afford a lawyer. I already talked to one and he said the court I'm going to is a tough court and I really need a lawyer. But like I said I can't afford it. I was told by a friend to plead guilty and get it over w? Should I? I no longer talk to the friend I was caught with. I am desperately searching for a job so talking days off in the begining wouldn't be good. I am a single mother. What should I do that is best for me and my son? Take a class? Write letters to sears and the LP? Write an essay for the judge to read and sear? Will anything help? I want to be a teacher I cnt have a record. Please HELP!!! Sorry its so long.
