My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia.
Hi everyone.
I recently stole some food from Kroger. About $15 worth. I worked at a sushi bar (under a different company) that was inside it. In short, I was caught. I also admitted that I've done it a few other times as well. I pretty much signed some papers to appear in court in a month, and I'm pretty much banned from all Krogers. I'm now also jobless.
My question is, what will I be facing in and after court? I've read around that I would get a lighter sentence if I plead not guilty? Though I guess this is something I would speak to a Lawyer or Public Defender about. After all this is done, how is life afterwards? Would it be tough to get back into school or find a job?
Would I actually be jailed? Or will it end up being community service, and some fines? And will life be tough afterward since it'll be on my record? Though it can be expunged, right?
I guess I'm just seeking for some comfort, because I deeply regret what I've done, though I understand that it can't be undone and now I have to accept responsibility for my actions. Some advice or maybe even some stories about anyone's experience would be great. Because I really am just trying to move forward despite what I've done.
Oh, one last question. The arresting officer understood my situation and gave me a month and a half to find a new job before I go to court. When I apply or get interviewed, should I say that I was convicted or arrested? How would that work? Should I just be honest?
