VerifiedDebra Thal (username) :
The civil suit is not relevant to the charges.
Debra Thal (username) :
It's not likely that she will end up with a criminal record.
Debra Thal (username) :
I don't know the facts or what they are saying but it's likely the case that she will be able to have diversion.
Debra Thal (username) :
What this means is that she can likely come to an Agreement with the Crown whereby she does some community service or perhaps takes a shoplifting course and then the Crown will withdraw the charges.
Debra Thal (username) :
If that happens she will not have a record.
Debra Thal (username) :
If this is the first time she's been charged that is the likely outcome.
JACUSTOMER-reztmo37- :
should we contact the crown before to court date ourselves or what for them to contact us.
Debra Thal (username) :
The Crown will not likely deal with this with you before the Court date.
Debra Thal (username) :
You can try though.
Debra Thal (username) :
And you can also try and speak to duty counsel before the Court date but that's not likely possible either though again try.
Debra Thal (username) :
In case you aren't clear about duty counsel, this is a lawyer who is paid by legal aid to help people who do not have lawyers in Court.
Debra Thal (username) :
Duty counsel can represent your daughter in Court and can speak to the Crown on her behalf.
