More details to this question:
I stole items from a store about 12 different times. I'm 22 years old and have a clean record otherwise. I've never done anything wrong before so I'm terrified. I accept responsibility for what I did but do you think ill get jail time?
I assume that you have been charged with retail fraud - 3rd degree. Yes? Whether you end up serving jail time depends on a number of factors including what, and how many counts, you have been charged with, and any prior record. The fact that you do not have a previous criminal history certainly helps. You should consider discussing your situation with an experienced criminal defense attorney to get a better understanding of what you are up against.
