    Theft under- different circumstance though
    K I live in canada, am 20 and have no convictions or run ins with the law.

    Last month, I was caught shoplifting. I have a court date set for that on April 20th. This happened in guelph and the court date is in guelph.

    But I was stupid,

    Is they are chance I can get off with out any convictions on my name
    Will I experience any jail time?

    You are a repeat offender. Most probably this will disqualify you from the diversion program.

    I would expect fines, some sort of probation - probably no jail time (depending on the amount).

    The Court will be concerned because you learned nothing from your first arrest.

    I believe you will have a conviction on your record - the Court is not going to waive that for a two time shoplifter.

    Don't understand why your heading said different circumstances? In both instances you were caught red handed stealing. The judge is not going to go lightly with you nor will you get the first offender deferred status either.
