Recently caught by Kohls California store for a petty theft of $50. Officer charged with Misdemeanor. Will they put me in Jail or just some fine and community services? The merchandise is of $44 dollars. Can I appeal for Infraction? Why did they charge me Misdemeanor?

I am feeling so embarrassed about the whole thing now since for few dollars I have lost all my peace of mind, sleep and I am not able to live my normal life. I have to appear in front of court in month of February. Has someone faced this kind of situation? Will it remain on my records?

I really dont want to go in Jail. I am ready to pay fine. Will i be on some probation? Is there any kind of diversion program that i can request for?

I have recently started my new job few months back and I am a Part Time Student. I have learned my Lesson already and I WILL NEVER REPEAT this MISTAKE in my whole life and never do such ACT.

Can I just defend myself in the court. I called few Lawyers and they are charging me $5000 which is too much for me to afford. Does anyone knows any other option that I can use to defend myself in the court?

I am scared of going to JAIL and I dont want to go to JAIL.

Can someone please list me all the options that I can take to avoid going to JAIL and keeping off these thing on my Records.

Please Advice and Help.

Thanks
