關於盜竊案問題，望有心人解答及提供意見!!

1. In your case, criminal record is unavoidable. It does affect your future chance for any visa.

2.

a. It depends on you - if you plead guilty, no lawyer is required.

b. Does not really matter. As in each sentencing, the probation officer will study your background to determine the best course for punishment.

c. All cases.

d. See above. Even you can present your situation, providing you have the psychological evaluation report.

e. Yes. It will be impossible.

3. It is difficult to say - based on the situation. the magistrate will evaluate and sentence you based on judgment and sentencing guideline.

Although, in most of the case Madam will be correct, there is no guarantee that you won't end up in jail.

4. It helps - but it is up to the court to "buy" it or not.

5. Yes.

It is not my position to believe you or not. If you have suffered as you have said you are, I will suggest you to seek Department of Justice actively for Offer No Evidence Binding Over.

Basically, it will carry the same kind of punishment that you are going to receive but without the criminal record.

I am not a lawyer - so I don't know your chance at all. If I were you, I will seek professional legal help to evaluate this option.

You can change your name.

However, at this moment, it is totally irrelevant. Focus on this legal battle first.

Also - the process of changing a name is lengthy (as you need to go to a lot of places to show the new name).

You simply have to let the police know the new name - they can verify that as soon as it is on file with the Immigration Department.

They will update your "file".

由於我對這方面的認知不多，所以不逐題回答你。以下是精簡的意見：

首先是，我也試過偷竊。不過當時年齡小（四年級），所以沒有被捕。
我認為，事情到此地步，你父母遲早知道。我明白你不願令自己的父母擔心。但，請你想一想，若是由警方去通知你家人，打擊豈不是更大？
我認為最好由你親近的家人去說服你家人（前提當然是你親近的家人跟你家人熟悉，而且口才要好）
我認為你提供證明自己正接受輔導。
另，最好找朋友，老師跟你一起求情。越多人越好。
悔過書一定有用。
因為拘捕你，懲罰你只是為了：讓你記住這個教訓，不要再次犯錯。若法官知道你已有悔意，一定會低刑罰。

還有，每個人都有低落的時候。難道人人低落時都要去改名？若是你的一生人都像心電圖般沒有起伏，你早就完蛋了。
（現在我的情緒也是十分低落，因為我被全班視為公敵。讓我們一起加油、起出低落的情緒吧！

大學生通常會刑罰比正常人低 而寫悔過書可能有用 最重要係你認罪 留案底其實係睇法官點判

改名轉運信則有不信則無

希望幫到你
