My daughter and her friend were caught shoplifiting from Macys and the total ammount taken was $76 in her bag. First offense. The officer gave her a city ordinance ticket and didnt take her and her friend into the station. Should she plead guilty in court? What should I expect? Should I get her an attorney? Will this go on her record if shes minor? The officer said he'll put in a good word for her in court because she was cooperative and admitted to what she did wrong. She is a good student and hasnt done anything bad up to now.
