It looks like the maximum sentence is 1 year in county jail since you have been charged with a misdemeanor. As to whether or not you have a shot at probation or a diversion program you are going to need a local criminal law attorney to answer that question. If you cannot afford an attorney a public defender should be assigned to you.

Yes a public defender will meet with the me. One hour before my hearing date .
yes and I’m reading one year in county jail .
I hope that the judge is lenient enough to grant me probation for three years instead . And/or diversion program

What did you steal and why did you steal it?

But in my defense . I wasn’t the one who carried it out .

Just as an aside, that's not a good defense if you intentionally aided and abetted.

Allegedly they said home and kitchen appliances . But in my defense . I wasn’t the one who carried it out . Allegedly they said I just opened the door for people to get it

They allegedly said you opened the door, or they allege that you opened the door?

I never touched the items or products . I don’t even know what was taken. So I should only get charged as accessory . Not grand theft by servant

Sure. Plead not guilty to the charge and be found not guilty by the judge/jury.

If I plead guilty ? What will happen

Only a local attorney can answer that question. You probably should not plead guilty unless you are being offered a plea bargain that you want to accept.

When can I know that I am being offered a plea bargain

Your attorney will know the answer to that question.

Thank you for tips . I’ll probably find a criminal defense attorney after all

Good.

It is a good bet that any criminal defense attorney you speak to will tell you to not talk to anyone about the crime you are accused of committing, including posting about the crime on an Internet forum. Anything you say potentially can be used by the prosecutor to help convict you.
