I was recently give a citation for shoplifting in California. This was my first time and the value was around $150.00. What am I looking at as far as penalty and fine? I reqret my actions and I did sign a confession stating what I took. Please advise!

Stressed in California!

Well I guess the advice of not sayig anything is beyond the point now.

There is a first offender program but a fine and probation is about all for a first offence
