What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
I was recently arrested and charged for shoplifting (13-1805 H) class 6 felony.
This is my first offense. The item was returhttps://forum.freeadvice.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=4
FreeAdvice Forums - Post New Threadned to the store. The only thing I have on my records is 2 speeding tickets.
I'm 22 years old. Active in my community service. Work with high schools students in leadership development. Full-time student at Arizona State University. And a clean record.
What I was wondering...
A) Is there anyway to get this down to a misdemeanor? (I want to become a teacher, and this will prevent me from doing so, and most jobs)
B) What fines am I looking at?
C) Is there jail time?
D) Should I get a lawyer or stay with a public defender?
E) What are usual outcomes of cases like these?
