I have been caught stealing from the department store where I work and charged for theft <$500. This is my first offence. I was coerced by security to sign a confession. I was intimidated and so scared that he made me say things that were not true and made me admit taking things I did not and made me write it in my own handwriting. Anyway, I was taken to the police station and charged for theft <500 31.03(e)(2)(A) PC MB. I was released with a $500 bond. I have a court date in 10 days.
1. What does this charge mean?
2. My main concern is messing up my clean record, How can I avoid going on record?
3. Can it be done?
4. Do I need a lawyer, what kind?
5. What can a lawyer do for me and how will the lawyer help me?
6. I am willing to do community service and take classes or anything else to avoid conviction.
7. What can I expect : fine, jail, probation?
8. What is meant be probation?
9. How should I plead.
10.Will the department store sue me for the items stolen or damages. For what value.
Please help me with as many answers as you can.
Thank you.
