18/f
Next Tuesday I will probably be found guilty for lar-2337-m1.
Larceny-2337-misdemeanor class 1
First offense.
35$ shirt.
The person I was with who was caught also got away & was banned from the store & will have to pay for the items...yet not arrested & will not have a criminal record for it. (that person is 27)
I was also banned & will have to pay for the item.
Yet I was arrested & am being charged. I will plea guilty.
I want to try to fight it some how because this is going to be on my record forever & I find it unfair that the other person is not having the same punishment I am..
I'm a senior in high school..
& I regret every bit of it.
& I want to go to college & get a good job.. & i know that will messed up if I am found guilty of this charge. . .
does any one know if I can get this misdemeanor expunged in a couple of years? I heard that misdemeanors sometimes go away but I don't think thats true..but I have heard of expungement, & I was wondering if you are found guilty of a charge can it still be expunged from my record?
Depending the state the laws vary, I being a juvenile delinquent my teen years had to wait 5 years before they would allow an expunge. Again, Depends on the state and the laws.
Misdemeanor offenses do not just go away on their own, You have to take it court or a judge and have them approve it. If it recently just happened there MAY be a slim chance kiddo. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]

Then you have to pay for the filing/court fees which can range from $75 to $200. It's fairly easy to go to the local municipal court and get the papers you need to file. After you've filed the papers, it takes 1-2 months before it comes off. I hope this helps and good luck. [ julie75's advice column | Ask julie75 A Question ]
