Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Shoplifting by Association? Scared!

[dolls2diamonds]

My brother and I were in Wal Mart and he was caught shoplifting. I was also charged because we were at the store together, even though I had nothing on me. I was arrested and let to sign a pr bond, I have a court date next Tuesday and am scared to death. I am in South Carolina. I don't know what to expect. I want to plead not guilty and ask for a jury trial, but really don't know what to do. Any advice and/or thoughts on this would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you were present while your brother stole and saw or could see he was taking merchandise your dead where you stand. I would urge you to consult a criminal defense Attorney and discuss your options.
