My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
Recently I went to court for shoplifitng. The result was parole where I pay 40 a month and a fine of 300.
What I'm curious about is something my lawyer mentioned. He said that since I'm not yet 21 thats a good thing and that i can go about this so its not on my record i guess. is this the deferred program? They said that no one will know about it and that its private and will be kept out of everything.
