The best I can tell you is 50/50. Some like judges better. Some like juries better. Go with whatever makes you and your attorney more comfortable. If you plead guilty the penalty will be lessened than if you are found guilty. If you plead guilty, you may not get jail time, maybe house arrest, longer probation and community service. If this was all a mistake, I would plead not guilty. Either way you may not get much jail time because of the overcrowding in Michigan.

You should show your assets to a store employee when entering the store if similiar items are sold.
