Shoplifting restitution
I was cited for shoplifting about $450
worth of merchandise (2 clothing
items) from a boutique in Los
Angeles. If the store I shoplifted
from accepts my offer of restitution
and drops the charges, will the court
dismiss my misdemeanor charge, or
can I still be convicted?
Re: Shoplifting restitution
Typically, the store has you sign a statement i.e. "confession", takes your money as agreed, then turns the case over to the prosecutor, who charges and convicts you on your confession. Nice, eh? You should have had an attorney's advice before agreeing to anything, now you need one to make sure the 'deal' with the store prevents this from happening, or to defend you on the charges if brought. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.
