What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
Hello,
Unfortunately, my 17y/o daughter was just caught shoplifting. She was issued a citation for theft III. She has never been in trouble before. She is an excellent student and has big plans for a career in the nursing field. Is this going to hurt her chances for getting into the college of her choice? This happened in another city, not where we live. Someone is supposed to let us know when her appearance before the juvenile court is to happen. Does she need a lawyer? Does she say guilty or not guilty at this appearance? Of course she is guilty, she was caught red-handed... Does she plea guilty? What is going to happen? What could be the worst and best case scenario? Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
