Q: I have a shoplifting charge. First one was expunged and now i have this. Is there a large chance i will get jail time
I have had one shopplifting expunged off my record nearly 4 years ago. I was stupud and did it again and was caught again. When i go to my first court date what should I plea. Also I think I make to much to get a pointted an atterny but i still cant afford it what can I do
A: If it was truly expunged then the first charge will not show up on your record . Whether you will get jail time depends on a lot of things like the amount stolen and facts of the case If the charge was in Williamson county then you need to know the DAs will try to prosecute to the fullest. You should definitely hire an attorney to help you ..
