    Hello l:

    STOP admitting it, and HIRE a lawyer. If you can't afford a lawyer, and you obviously can't, STOP admitting it anyway. They'll give you a lawyer for FREE.

    Depending on where you are you could still be charged with the crime even if you pay the money back. Get a good attorney to help you out of this mess.

    Also, if this is not a large amount of money you shouldn't be seeing any jail time. If it is a large amount then possibly. Most likely you'll get probation but in the meantime you'll be put through a lot of grief just to get the probation. See an attorney now.

    My guess is some sort of embezzlement from a company. Also if the OP did MANY checks then she'll not be tap dancing out of this in a big hurry with just probation either.
