once she pleads out on this case, with the ACD, doube jeopardy attaches and she can not be prosecuted for the same crime again. however, she can be sued civilly (or if she is a minor then you would be responsible).
Generally, on all shoplifting cases the fee for the merchandise taken as well as various other fees to pay for added security and court costs, usually what eneds up happening is that those caught for shoplifting end up paying for their own prosecution...
