I live in Edmonton, alberta Canada,

Asked Feb 22, 2007, 02:06 PM — 5 Answers
I am being charge with fraud under $5, 000, I have a student legal lawyer.
She suggested me to go for the alternative measures program, because I do not
Want a crinimal record. First time I went t o court I said I was not quilty. It was
Internet fraud, where someone gave m e a check because I ask for so me money.
The check was the bank no longer there . It is from the states, I sign the check but was not cashed.

Is it true I have to say I am guilty of this charge and do the alternative program and will not get a record. Because when I went to court 2 weeks ago I said I was not guilty.

I just don't want a record and if I did go on trial and lost I could get a record is that true? Thanks Ronnie e-mail starlightbrightzzz@hotmail.com

Follow the advice of your lawyer.

You plead guilty, do the program and your record is erased.

Everyone pleads not guilty the first time, you would be stupid not to.

I will say I have not paid them back yet but am willing to do so. This is my first offfence and am wondering if they will put me in jail? I sure hope not. I am willing to do whatever itt takes so I do not end up in jail! I am very remoresful and am feeling awful for what I did. I am very very scared! As far as how much I took I am going to guess and say about $ 1000. I have mental health issues and was on medication during this so cannot remember doing this at all, and I know that is no excuse. I suffer with severe depression and get panic/ anxiety attacks quite often. I am under the care of a Pychatrist and Pyhcologist as well. Reply back when you can. Thank You!
