My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio
This was my first time shoplifting and I have a completely clean record. No traffic violations or anything. I am 19 years old and will be trying to get into pharmacy school in a few months, if this gets on my record my future is ruined. It was a spur of the moment dumb decision my 17 year old sister and I made. We went into Ulta and she gave me a list of things she wanted and I grabbed a few things I wanted. My role was unboxing and putting the items into a different isle. Her role was concealing and walking out. Our total was $345 according to the police. I was diagnosed by a child psychiatrist with bipolar disorder a few years ago but stopped taking my meds because they mad me really sick. I think this was a stupid decision I made during a manic episode since I normally would not have done this. I also had a severe concussion 4 years ago that left me out of school for over a month, I read online brain damage can contribute to bad decision making. I hired an attorney but he doesn't know what the outcome will be for me. Any ideas on the chances of me getting a diversion program or somehow keeping this off of my record? If it gets on my record I will lose my current job and will not be able to get into graduate school. I have already completed 3 years of college and Id hate for that to go to waste. I worked so hard starting full time college when I was 16 :-( I will never do anything stupid like this again and I have been looking into getting treatment for my bipolar disorder now that I have realized it is a major problem. Anyone have advice or an idea of a possible outcome? I have to appear in court June 30th and I'm terrified... Thanks in advance!
