    Default Michigan Shoplifting

    i was just caught shoplifting ($120 at JC Penny) in michigan. i have recently talked to a lawyer and he said my best bet would to plea not guilty and then ask for the youthful act. has anyone heard of this and/or done this?


    your help is appreciated!!!

    If your going to ask for a plea bargain then why plead not guilty!? Plea bargains are in exchange for guilty plea!

    If you plead not guilty then your saying you did not do it! Thsi means if court agrees with you then NOTHING happens!! I do not know what youthful act is however I can safely say if your found innocent why would you need this program. Is "Youthful act" a means to escape guilt?

    The lawyer is referencing the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, or HYTA.

    Ok based on link it still appears to be a guilty pleae (like no contest) but it is possible to escape saying you have aconviction for theft? Am I correct and I have never heard of that program and am unaware if we have one like it in CA
