You seem very worried for "your friend"
if he doesnt pay that fine then target could take him to court.
If he pays the fine he should be court free.

so wouldn't that mean that he isn't court free?

Target will have to file a claim with their local county courts ( small claims ) and then a subpoena will be sent to his house via certified mail or something like that. ( A courier service with proof of delivery ) Now if he defaults on the letter target is sending him then they could proceed further with a suit.
I would speak to an attorney so that way I wouldnt have to pay that fee. Or at least a reduced fee.

I admit I'm a chronic shoplifter. My family is extremely poor and I give 100% of my paycheck to my mom to pay for insurance, electric, water, etc. because she broke her ankle and cannot work. Most of my friends are RICH AS HELL and they buy all these sweet things all the time. The other day one of my friends bought a Mp3 player and an FM transmitter to play it in his car. The next day I went to Superwalmart, got both products, went out to the Garden Center and threw it over the fence. then I drove over there and got my shit. CDs. Shoes. My clothes. Practically everything. As soon as I turn 18 I promised myself to stop this madness but I don't know how easy it will be. I haven't gotten caught yet.. But I try to justify it and i try to make my conscience feel better by telling myself "Ohh.. but stores purposely overcharge so shoplifting won't hurt their profit as bad" but that doesn't help and I realize: God I'm such a douche. :sad:
