In May I stole a few deposits from the restaurant that I was the general manager at. I quit the next day and did not return. When I called the assistant manager a week later about my paycheck I was told I didn't have one. I was going to pay back the deposits with that. A detective soon started looking for me and I did not respond because I did not want to incriminate myself during questioning. I was woken up last week by a knock at the door. The police told me that I was being arrested for theft of prop in the third and I could bail out in an hour. My mother spoke to the bail bondsman who told her I should plead guilty because I have a clean record. She said it would be a slap on the wrist. No jail time, just fines. I spoke to an attorney yesterday and he thinks I can get off. There was no signing sheet for the deposits and 3 different people had access to the safe they were kept in. I really don't know what to do. It is being handled in city court. I am afraid if I plead not guilty and I am found guilty that I will face harsher penalties than if I just plead guilty and get it over with. Please help me my court date is a week and a half away. I have a family and I don't want to go to jail. Also can my attorney see the evidence before my trial. He didn't say but I don't know what my former boss has on me. I KNOW there is no video.
