GET AN ATTORNEY!! Serioulsy, you need legal representation.
Don't know what your state's limit for felony is, they usually
determine whether it's a felony or a misdemeanor by the value
of the items stolen. You could be looking at a pretty harsh
punishment. It will be well worth the money to have someone
who knows what they're doing in this kind of case. People
think if they cooperate and sign all the papers and such it
will go easier for them. NOT. you just admitted guilt. now
an attorney has to undo it. yes, you are guilty. but never
admit it, that's why we have the 5th amendment to keep us from
incriminating ourselves.
