I was caught stealing o deodorant stick from zellers, and charged with theft under 5000. I had, a few nights before, been kicked out of my parents house and was starting to smell and had wanted to go job hunting that day. Having no money to use to buy it, thanks to my banks service fees (-_-), I tried to steal it, with obvious little success.

As it says in the title, I live in Edmonton AB.

Court is soon, and was wondering if anybody could help me out on what to say, like if I should plead guilty, or not guilty and things like that.

Ask about a first offenders program.
