Tina Griekspoor is seen holding a sign in front of the Bedford County courthouse in Bedford, Pa. Tuesday. Bedford County District Attorney Bill Higgins says in exchange for Griekspoor and her mother Evelyn Border, both of Bedford, agreeing to hold the signs, he'll ask for probation instead of jail when they plead guilty. (Photo of mother is serving as APhoto of the Day today.)The mother and daughter will be outside the court for forty-one-and-a-half hours, until 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. Higgins says they swiped a gift card which a girl set on a shelf while a WalMart employee helped her. (AP Photo/Bedford County District Attorney's Office)
