There are options to get the sentence reduced and perhaps plead guilty to a lesser charge, as you would not want a felony to be on your record. A few additional details would be needed to assess the possibility of negotiating an agreement with the prosecutor. One relevant question is whether you have any prior charges or convictions on your record. The amount stolen is important here too. FYI-I am a Missouri personal injury/criminal defense attorney, though I have not yet set up my profile here, as the Missouri attorney directory is not yet complete, though will be soon. Feel free to contact by e-mail at mth2000@yahoo.com. Thank you.
