What is the name of your state? CA
Hi please please help, i know that it was a stupid thing of me to do and now I really regret it, but I shoplifted at this retail store that i used to work at. I was caught in June and I've already went to court and i was charged with a misdemeanor, but i have to go back for a resitution hearing next month. My question is that, i had stolen stuff at that store before i was arrested, so hypothetically if they did catch that on the security camera then can they bring this into court and charge me more? I think the restitution hearing is to see how much i need to pay the store back, but i'm already in the process of paying the store back already (i've contacted them and i'm doing a monthly payment plan). So i guess my question is that at the restitution hearing will i be only hold liable for what i was charged with when i went to court in June, or can they add more charges to that if they have suficient evidence?
Please please help, i'm freaking out, i really dont want my parents to know, and i dont have the money for a lawyer, if worse somes to worse i'll go to that pre-paid lawyer site. but please please help. oh and im not a minor.
