您的第一次出庭應該是initial hearing ，基本上檢方會告知您被起訴何種罪名，您可以當庭認罪(如果您的律師與檢察官有認最的協議)或是不認罪(您的律師會要求設立一個特定的日期來進入審判的程序)

由於您的情況是第一次犯罪，加上對方有錄影帶為證，您的說法老實說可能很難說服法官或是陪審團，(如果您在該店舖購買相當價值的貨品或是隻忘記付一雙襪子的貨款，這或許有很好的說法)但是如果您拿了4個packages .大概是$30的貨品，您還說是您忘記付款，老實說您的說詞還是真的有些牽強)
現在最重要的是要看您的控罪來決定您將來會麵對的問題，不過一般來說印州的法令
您應該有可能會麵對的判決是一到三年的緩刑加上一定時數的社區服務，然而如果您遇到一個對移民較有偏見的檢察官，如果他對您提出較重的控罪，那您的麻煩就不會很小了。

Converting Class D felony to Class A misdemeanor
35-38-1-1.5 Sec. 1.5. (a) A court may enter judgment of conviction as a Class D felony with the express provision that the conviction will be converted to a conviction as a Class A misdemeanor within three (3) years if the person fulfills certain conditions. A court may enter a judgment of conviction as a Class D felony with the express provision that the conviction will be converted to a conviction as a Class A misdemeanor only if the person pleads guilty to a Class D felony that qualifies for consideration as a Class A misdemeanor under IC 35-50-2-7, and the following conditions are met:
(1) The prosecuting attorney consents.
(2) The person agrees to the conditions set by the court.
(b) For a judgment of conviction to be entered under subsection (a), the court, the prosecuting attorney, and the person must all agree to the conditions set by the court under subsection (a).
(c) The court is not required to convert a judgment of conviction entered as a Class D felony to a Class A misdemeanor if, after a hearing, the court finds:
(1) the person has violated a condition set by the court under subsection (a); or
(2) the period that the conditions set by the court under subsection (a) are in effect expires before the person successfully completes each condition.
However, the court may not convert a judgment of conviction entered as a Class D felony to a Class A misdemeanor if the person commits a new offense before the conditions set by the court under subsection (a) expire.
(d) The court shall enter judgment of conviction as a Class A
misdemeanor if the person fulfills the conditions set by the court under subsection (a).
(e) The entry of a judgment of conviction under this section does not affect the application of any statute requiring the suspension of a person's driving privileges.
(f) This section may not be construed to diminish or alter the rights of a victim (as defined in IC 35-40-4-8) in a sentencing proceeding under this chapter.

至於您的未來，老實說如果您的先生將來因為工作可以有機會申請移民簽證時，如果您與您的先生的申請案是一齊處理，您過去的犯罪紀錄有可能嚴重拖延您們的申請案的進度，這點您最好有心理準備，所以您與您先生如果未來要留下來，您們的申請案應該考慮分開來辦理。
您現在應該怎樣處理您的問題，老貓的建議是
(a)如果您先生在印大，您們應該到印大的法律係看看有沒有特別的給予學生法律諮詢的服務，了解一下您目前的狀況。一般學校對於刑事案件應該不會提供太多的服務，但是基本上會給予您們一些簡單的資料讓您們有個開始。
(b)您應該考慮諮詢律師，雖然您的案件很輕微，但是一旦獲判有罪，這其中的後遺症會很大 (除非您們不考慮移民美國，準備年底學成回國，那麼您就不需要擔憂)，所以爭取"無罪"的判決或是"不起訴"的決定是您們應該爭取的，但是您的案件，這需要有專業的知識的法律諮詢人員來協助您處理。(如果是老貓來處理這個案件，老貓個人有好幾個可行的方式來處理，然而礙於未來工作的規定，老貓隻能說您需要諮詢律師尋求最佳的解決方式)
(c)在可見的未來，您最好不要再有這種事件發生，因為如果您一再有類似的狀況，成為所謂的"累犯"，州的兒童福利機構有可能會認定您們為不適任的父母，到時候，他們有權要求監督或是直接取代您們對孩子的監護權，那麼您們的麻煩可就不是這個論壇可以輕鬆幫助的。 (您最好聽進去，切記 !)
