Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Retail theft at walmart, plea guilty ? or not guilty?

[Onlyexception]

I came to college, and I got stupid because of wrong friends.
I made terrible mistake. I stole some stuffs(about $60) from walmart and I got caught.

However, I got this letter from lawyer first, which I had to pay $150, then I got letter from
townshup, saying that

"this court has received your plea of not guilty to ths violations.
and it has court date bellow.
and on the next paper, it has fine and costs, and says
"plead not guilty by notifying the magisterial district judge above in writing and forward an amout equal to the total due specified above, or if the fine and costs are not specified, forward the sum of 50 as collateral for your appearance at trial.

and it says some similar things for not guilty

I am so confused. I dont know what to do.
I bought the money order for the fine and cost total to send.

My friend told me to check on not guilty, but I got caught right there
I AM guilty.

and my friend and I got caught together, but I had more stuffs
She didnt get any letter from court.

I just wish that it doesnt go on my record...
I know I made a stupid mistake, and I will NEVER do it again.

I felt so guilty afterwards, and I wouldnt matter if I got caught or not.

Please help me..

anybody have similar experience??

what's the best thing to do for not getting it into my record?


I've never done this before, so I don't know what to do...

I am college student. I am doing very good in all classes.
Im regreting so much what i did, but it's too late.
and Ive learned my lesson.
oh and I am not Us citizen,, Will this record affect to continue my academics in State?...


and do I have to go to jail???
....please somebody help me....I would really appreciate it.!

Re: Retail theft at Store name, plea guilty ? or not guilty?

You post is too long to answer in traditional sense. Look for words in bold within your quote for replies

I came to college, and I got stupid because of wrong friends.
I made terrible mistake. I stole some stuffs(about $60) from Store name and I got caught.

However, I got this letter from lawyer first, which I had to pay $150,This letter is a Civil Demand. Its unrelated to your criminal case. We advise you to pay this soon as possible then I got letter from
townshup, saying that

"this court has received your plea of not guilty to ths violations.
and it has court date bellow.
and on the next paper, it has fine and costs, and says
"plead not guilty by notifying the magisterial district judge above in writing and forward an amout equal to the total due specified above, or if the fine and costs are not specified, forward the sum of 50 as collateral for your appearance at trial.

and it says some similar things for not guiltyYou say not guilty twice? Now I am confused?

I AM guilty.That means nothing it buys you time to seek legal assistance and work out plea deal. HIghly recommended

and my friend and I got caught together, but I had more stuffs
She didnt get any letter from court.Yet

I just wish that it doesnt go on my record...
I know I made a stupid mistake, and I will NEVER do it again.Then talk to an Attorney about your plea options. Be sure to ask about Diversion
