As you said its her first time ( either done or not ) they will fine her some money but record is big issue here. Hire a lawyer. Havent you seen in news even criminals will get lawyer?
Lawyer can ask judge to see video , you cant go and tell judge by urself. He will probably not even listen you.
Shop lifting is not big crime here. Dont worry.
