I don't have enough facts to advise you. In fact, the only advice I can give you based on what you have told me is GET A NEW BOYFRIEND. You're not going to see this one for quite a few years.

Should a case be dismissed if the defendant has not been tried for over 14 months for his case if it’s not a murder case?

Answered by attorney Alison Lee Bermant (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Alison Bermant, Attorney at Law
There is definitely not enough information provided to answer this question. If charges have been filed there may be a speedy trial violation but not a statute of limitations violation, depending on whether or not the defendant consented to all of those continuances and waived time for trial. You should consult with an attorney and provide more detailed information.

What do I expect for first time felony charges for retail theft of $1,494.25?

Hire an attorney. A felony conviction on your record may well result in jail time, but more so, you will have a record, which means it will be very difficult for you to get a job. No one wants to hire someone who steals and can't be trusted.
