First thing you should do is to hire an attorney and see if the case can be beaten. If you take that deal you'll have a conviction on your record, and you'll still be out the restitution. The better idea is to have someone go in and investigate the State's case and/or negotiate a deal that ensures you don't end up with a conviction on your record.
