My question involves criminal law for the state of: MI
i just go the letter from kohls for a charge of 200$ and i understand that much of it.
i was charged with retail fraud third degree for stealing 140$ worth or merch from kohls i just wanted to know what to expect in court. i did everything the lady at kohls said and everything the cop said. i was told to go to the court within in 14 days. i just want to know what to expect..what will i be charged with. im 18 btw
Looks like retail fraud in the third degree.
You could get up to 93 days in jail, $500 fine or both.
Have you went to court? Which county are you in? I actually have experience with this. I shoplifted from kohls but it was only worth $50. I did have to pay the $200 fine to kohls plus about 1,000 in court costs. You will most likely be charged with retail fraud. I had to do 3 days of community service, 1 year of probation, and a class for retail fraud. But the great thing is this isn't on my record, through hyta it was expunged after I completed my probation. Since you are only 18 as was I you will probably get similar consequences. They like to give you another chance since you're so young. I know this is scary and I can sympathize. Eventually it will get better though. I would try to ask your lawyer about hyta, it would help you so much.
