michigan man
me and my friend were cought stealing from the local meijers. the items i had totaled less then 5 dollars and his were less then 25 dollars. the people from meijer called the police and we were fingerprinted and given a court date. we showed up for the date and all the magistrate told us was that she couldnt convict us and we had to see a prosecuting attorney. im not to sure what this means but she also said be prepaired to pay a 400 dollar fine. so will this be our fine or is that the max it will be? also why cant the magistrate fine us if she knows about how big it will be. our court date is tomorow soryy for posting so late but i just found this site about 10 min ago. any advise would be great. i guess i just want to know what chances their are of jail time or anything like that. thanks
PS were both first time offenders
