    Chances at Alternative Measures/Diversion Program? Please Help?
    I am a first time offender of Theft under $5000. I admitted to taking $121 at my work. (jacket&shoes). This happened in BC, Canada. I am truly remorseful of my actions. I want to pay back my work but I feel if I go back, that's trespassing. I cannot afford a lawyer, I am a full-time student, and I was fired which I deserve. 3 other people were caught stealing and they were let go. No arrest/charge, which feels unfair, but I committed the crime nonetheless. So I want to know,my chances at getting diverted or into the alternative measures program. I plan on going on my court date and talking to duty counsel and hope I can get diverted. I am a criminal law student, and I'm planning on transferring to university soon, and this charge can ruin my chances at future employment and travelling. I admit I made a STUPID mistake which I regret terribly, I would take it back if I could...
    Any answers would be helpful.. thank you!
