Having a Criminal Record
If the court finds you guilty, you will have a criminal record for the rest of your life. If you are ever charged again for anything else, the state will check your criminal record. Sometimes, if you are looking for a job, people will also check if you have a criminal record.
If you are not guilty of the crime that you have been charged with, you must enter a plea of ‘not guilty’ and not be intimidated into agreeing that you will plead guilty in exchange for a very light sentence.
