My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Michigan
Yesterday I was caught stealing $74 worth of jewelry at a khols store. They took me and my mother (who had no idea what was going on) and we talked about my consequences. They told me I would be paying $200 to the store and I thought that would be it and I vowed to never do such a thing again.
Then the security lady called the police. They came and got my information and said they would be sending me some letters in the mail for a fine and a court date. I was wondering what I should expect from this?
What kind of charge will this be?
Will this be seen on my records for college?
How can I get this expunged?
I have been reading something about "pretrial diversion"... is this a good thing? And how do I go about it?
What do I plead?
I really appreciate any feed back as soon as possible. My family and I are distraught...
Thank you so much in advance.
