Go pick them up.

If they were going to arrest you, they already know where you are. So, if I were you, I wouldn't worry about that.

You might have to sign something that you've received them.

What about what I asked about your parents in post #19 above?

By the way, your thread has been moved out of the Crime forum topic area to the Criminal Law one. There are some really good Experts here that really know the law, and the Criminal Law area is where they would be most likely to answer you.

Those Experts are usually here during the daytime hours, though.

There advice also, is not to be taken as a substitute for that which you might receive from a attorney who's been hired or appointed to represent you.

Hello b:

Clough gave you good advice. This being your first offense, you probably will get probation, fines, community service, and you'll have to pay the money back.. You also HAVE to tell your parents.

Don't talk to the cops anymore.

OK well what will I expect when I go get these papers? An every time they call me to come up to the sheirffs office they also start saying U GOT THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT... etc. They read it off a paper an they make me sign a paper what does that mean?

Hello again, b:

It means that you snitched on yourself, and you're going to be found GUILTY if you want a trial. Your only hope now is making a GOOD plea bargain, and you need a lawyer to do that. The court WILL give you a lawyer, but that won't happen until your first appearance. Talk to HIM and NOBODY else.

It IS a little late for that advice, but nonetheless, DON'T talk to them again. The cops are NOT your friends.

Also in the beginning the shriff said if I didn't start talking he was going to have a warrant out for my arrest so I did talk an then he wanted me to put it on paper, he demanded me to put it on paper?

So will they use the documents and court that I was told to put on paper?? An when I go pick up the court papers today do I just need to keep my mouth shut up, get the papers and ask for a lawyer?

Hello again, b:

I KNOW how they are. They're PRICKS, and they LIE. You don't have to tell me. But, THAT doesn't matter now. It's water under the bridge. You did it. You told the cops you did it. It's over.

The only thing left is the disposition, and I told you what I think will happen. When you get the "papers", there will be a court date and an address where you need to be.

Tell your parents.

So two documents is enough for me to go to jail... even though its my first offence.

Hello again, b:

This is what I said above, and I haven't changed my mind. I said NOTHING about going to jail. If they wanted you in jail, you'd BE in jail.

You're going to get a summons (papers) in the mail telling you where to go and when to be there. Because of what went down already, your GUILT is NOT an issue. Therefore, you're going to PLEAD guilty in exchange for a predetermined sentence. Those arrangements will be made between your lawyer and the prosecuting lawyer. It might happen at your first appearance, but probably not. There may be one or two more.

Nonetheless, the outcome will PROBABLY be what I said it would be. It MIGHT not be, though. Only the judge knows.

So, relax. Whatever you COULD have done, you didn't know to do, so it didn't get done. Ok, that happened. It's water under the bridge. You can't DO anything about it now. Go to court. Pay the money back. Do your community service. Kiss your PO's a$$, and don't steal again.

What does it mean going to PLEAD guilty in exchange for a predetermined sentence?

Hello again, b:

When you're charged with a crime in this country, the state has to PROVE that you're guilty. Once they do, they pass sentence. YOUR guilt, however, is not in doubt because you confessed. Therefore, the only thing left is sentencing. Some time or other, the judge will ask you whether you're guilty or not. Because you DON'T want a trial, you're going to say (PLEAD) guilty. By the time THAT happens, your attorney and the prosecutor will have worked out an agreement as to your disposition.

This is as simple as I can make it. I can't teach you the law in this forum.

excon

OK thank u

Excon is right - half of what was posted is immaterial.

You admitted your guilt. Now it's a very simple thing - sentencing.

Only a Judge knows what that sentence will be.

EDIT: Why did you change your screen name and post this question all over again from the beginning? This is unfair to the people who are trying to help you. You are taking time away from people who need and want "our" help. It's also against AMHD rules.
