Hi,
I'm from Newfoundland and I am 22, Last month I got charged with shop lifting, had my finger prints taking and photo id. I work as a personal care attendant I left my job last week beofre this incident and now looking for a new one but everywhere I need a certificate of conduct. When I show up for court is there anyway to get it discharged so I can retain a job or what do I say to have a minimal charge? Is the person or anyone from the sore going to be there as a witness or anything?
I've been good with the law all my life this is my first offense. It was at a dollar store and I think it was over 50$ worth but under 100$...
I went to get a free lawyer, they told me to come back with bank statements and that there will be a lawyer or court defender with me next week (the 11th is my court date) but I haven't even spoken to a lawyer? What are the possible outcomes ? Or what is the worst so I know?
Any help would greatly appreciated or advice.
