I was caught, "Store name" $28.03 Towels and some car wax. I have wife, children a house, car all the stuff you are supposed to have at 44. I just don't have a job, hence the reason and pressure to do something I will always regret.
Since the age of nineteen I have had 3 charges. 1. Retail theft of a pair of sunglasses my friend lifted, "he took them, he ran, I was caught". I should have turned him in but instead I took the rap. 2. Was a drug charge POT (1991) 3. Was a disorderly in (1996) I really don't remember what happened with any of those charges, my father had a great position to make sure I was represented (atty) at each with the exception of the first retail theft. I do have representation for this issue that I wished I could have magically made go away, but that is not going to work this is reality. My concern is: Can I get "ARD", get this pushed back to a summary or is this much worse. Am I going to go to jail?
If it is the worst of the 3 my family will suffer, I am the bread winner, so when the economy comes around I will not be eligible to work within my field of techono. Will the District atty give me leniency or the magistrate? My atty is telling me I will not go to jail and I would be eligible for some program, is he correct?
I have done nothing since the disorderly.
