Post: Petty theft misdemeanor

Posted by tracy on 5/20/07
I was arrested for petty theft (under $400) from Target. I am working at an accounting job, and this is my first time committing this. I am located in California. The officer said that it will be a misdemeanor, and that hiring a lawyer probably won't help me, but I was wondering if this was true or not. I am truly sorry for what I did, and am so scared and worried about the consequences - jail time, probation, maintaining employment, lawyer fees, and how this will affect my record (and if a misdemeanor is permanent on record). I'm wondering if some sort of rehabilitation program would reduce my sentence or not. Thanks for the help.
