i know , i know i should of not done it in the first place, i regreat it soo much! specially because i wanted to apply for a new job, and im scared it will show on my records! :'( i have always been a good girl, great straight "A" student ,and a hard worker, i had never done such thing, always been as honest as i could, am actually already making arrangements with a counceler to figure out the cause of this unusual behavior.
to the point!
i was shopping at the mall, was looking for a dress for a sweet 16 party, i went to cheaper stores and could not find an elegant one, i went to sears , found this pretty dress, tried it on and loved it, price $70 dollars, plus $30 of some expandex that tuck my tummy in . i didnt have that much money in hand. an it didnt have a alarm sensor, so idk what took me to think it was okay to take it. i dont know what i was thinking. :'(
i got caught , taken to an office, charged with a retail theft, and have court on july 26. i need help im very scared! i dont know what to expect. im 18 years old. i wanted a new job, and im going back to college this semester, i dont want this enbarrasing thing in my record! will i be able to remove it ? will i go to jail ?

o yeah i got a letter where is says that i need to pay $200 to the store, will they remove the charges against me if i pay?

do i need an attorney ? public defender?
 
The fine in mail is unrelated to your criminal case. Its called Civil Demand its state law and you should pay it. Yes you need an Attorney and when you talk to this Attorney ask if Diversion or ACD is available for your case
