Going to jail is the least of your worries. It is very unlikely you will go to jail. However, a criminal conviction for theft will severely hamper your future and earning capacity for a very long time. In some cases you may not get even a minimum wage job in a reputable company. Hire a good criminal defense attorney. Protecting your future is well worth what you will pay for such services.
