Yes to the first part because you are charged with a crime. Most judges will require you to have a lawyer. Not likely to the second part.

Do I have to pay civil demand?

Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
Criminal Law lawyer at Pelger Law
Normally, the civil penalty is no admission of guilt and does not hurt your criminal case. It is the stores way of recuperating money they spend in sending an employee to court for half a day to handle all the idiots who rob them blind. Not that you are an idiot. Everybody makes a mistake. If this is truly your first offense, pay the penalty, be nice and ask the district justice for shoplifting classes since this is your virginal criminal event. Once you complete the horrors of shoplifting course, they should withdraw the charges at the next hearing. This applies, unless of course, you get busted for more retail theft offenses in the interim.

Somebody other than you owns it so technically you were trespassing. Whether the police follow up is likely a function of where this took place and how busy they are.
