someone I am close to got charged of a 2C:20-11b(2)in New Jersey 09/27 1. This is the first offense of the person that resulted from a momentary lapse

I would think seriously about 'defending' this 'shoplifhting' charge with an attorney. We do many 'shoplifting' cases and the national chains do not want to settle and they pay large amounts of real estate taxes to the community. As such, they are listened to. Please call.
