[thelawjournal]

Thef t is a crime of moral turpitude so yes it can. All the more reason to seek Diversion.

 

[sam420]

should i ask the lawyer for the Diversion ? or the judge?

 

[Guest]

You talk to your Lawyer about this before court!

 

[sam420]

Tnx--

You need legal counsel for your criminal charge. If you can afford your own you hire one. If not then ask for Public Defender. Judge will instruct you on the process

 

[sam420]

i don't think i can afford one at this moment so i will just ask for Public Defender !
how long my case gonna take? because i got school coming up sonn !!

 

[thelawjournal]

We have no way of knowing that. There are many factors to consider. Plan on your case being continued for at least a month after you request Public Defender

 

[sam420]

man.... that's a lot of time !! and ps i don't want any one in my house to find that out !!!
i think they will find out some how

 

[Guest]

Just how would we or why would we tell anyone in your home? Yes they are very likely to find out

 

[sam420]

im not saying u guys will !! because the gonna mail me thats how they will find out !!! if they do is good if i take my dad and mom to court or it don't matter because im 18 now !!

 

[sam420]

If you are 18 and got caught with shoplifting misdemeanor is it possible to still get a good job??

If your convicted it will show on any background check run on you. This could prevent you from being hired. So your answer is no.

You Mean NO?

Yes sorry I meant no

Most jobs will run a background check on you.
If its a retail job, or a job handling money, you're out of luck, no one wants to hire a theif.

I go through applications here at my store and if it says "theft" under any criminal charges I put it in a do not hire file.
