What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I am so nervous, my court date is tomorrow evening for taking a bunch of kids outfits at Sears....I have been sick to my stomach all month long, I will never ever put myself in this situation again, it was NOT worth it!! I have 4 beautiful girls to raise and I'm so scared I won't come home to see them tomorrow.
My question is, the security stated they have seen me 3 other times before taking things but they didn't stop me for whatever reason. Can those other times be brought against me at court also? Or just when I was stopped?
I don't even know what to expect, I know I'm guilty but I have a lot of questions that I would like to ask an attorney about charges and future employment and education plans (I want to open my home daycare), but I can't afford one right now.....so do I just plea guilty right there tomorrow and will they give me the opportunity to speak to a public attorney? Will the outcome be decided in one court date or would I have to go back? I have never been through this before.
