i work as a manager @ a local drug store. This kid (20 years old) got caught by the police running out of the store w/ stolen merchandise. I didnt witness him conceal it or see him run out the door with anything, but the cops saw him running from the store & stopped him. He's being charged with 2nd degree retail fraud - why? The thing he stole was only $13 - ive read until MI law that 2nd degree is over $200. and actually today in court the case got ajourned for reason of discovery because i guess the lawyer was new to this case. here's my questions:
why is it 2nd degree?
will i get called back to court again?
