Judge Tom
Since you have a lawyer appointed to represent you, speak with him about how to proceed and what you can expect at sentencing. Because you’ve been charged with a felony, you may not be eligible for a “diversion” program. It’s up to the prosecutor and the judge assigned to your case. You’ll have a chance to speak with your lawyer before the next hearing. You can also talk with your parents about this for support to get you through this ordeal. If you were banned from the store or the mall, don’t return or you could be charged with trespassing. Good luck. -Judge Tom
