Chances Of getting my embezzlement charge reduced?
Ok, so here's the story. I am 19 years old, and was a cashier at a target in California. I made the idiotic stupid mistake of stealing from my register. Not once not twice but 4 times. I took a total of $800 and I already paid back $100. I got arrested and am getting charged with embezzlement for the total of $700. My court date is scheduled for the 3rd of February. I am hoping that I am able to get off with it and it be reduced down to a misdemeanor. This is my first offence. I already have scheduled a payment plan to pay back target. Since it wasn't all at once I figured I'd ask to see if I could get charged with 4 cases of petty theft. Or at least just get a fine, community service, swap, drc, etc,. If you know anything about this stuff just leave me a message or email me or something. Let me know what you think!
