My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
My roommate and I are both 19 years old and got charged with a misdemeanor for petty theft. When we were in the back room we signed some papers and were not arrested. They told us that we would get billed for both jcpenney and the state. We got the bill for JCP and paid it RIGHT AWAY. He called the office for the bill from the state and they said odds are it for dropped. NOTHING was ever said to us about needing to set a court date. Months pass and we get a warrant for our rest. This confused both of us. We immediately went to the sheriffs office to get it cleared and set a court date because that's what it said to do. This is a first offense for both of us and our record is clear besides this.
when we go to the court date:
1) are we gonna go to jail?
2) should we plead guilty?
3) is an attorney necessary for a first time offense?
