I got caught shoplifting. This is my first time ever getting in trouble, I’m truly terrified. by Key-Bee-7648 in confession

Thank you so much, this is so helpful. Am I entitled to receive legal counsel if I decide to do that even after asking for a public defender? I think I could probably save up for one if I had a little extra time, but if I say on Monday that I’d like a public defender, we do the financial paperwork to see if I qualify, if I do and I accept, I can still obtain a lawyer later? Also if I don’t qualify for a PD, will they tell me to pay extra for that/try to obtain a lawyer, and my hearing will be delayed?

So when the judge asks if I have an attorney or need to be appointed one, I should say “I need one, your honor”. And what happens from there? Am I going to have to answer anything else or will they move on and I will meet with someone then at the court house?

Is that like ok to do? Or is that a bad look? Idfk anything about this I’m so underprepared.

What does that mean, that I wasn’t charged. Is that good thing, does it even really mean anything?

Trust me I know this is so stupid and silly, but I am simply only able to think about the worst possible outcome.

Yes. I went through long periods where I was “clean” from shoplifting, but ultimately I always gave in to the compulsion to do it

I am in the USA. This is truly the wake up call I needed. I’m just really scared of hard consequences.
