    Default Michigan Shoplifting Charge

    I just got caught shoplifting in MI.
    I have a court date, a fine (dont know what it will be yet)
    and i went to jail and had to have my parents bail me out..
    I just have a question, is there any way that i could get this off my record?
    I'm barely considered an adult.. and i'm worried about college applications.

    thanks

    Default Michigan Shoplifting Charge

    You can petition for disposition under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act (HYTA). Under Michigan law, if you are between the ages of 17 and 21, you may be able to get a delayed disposition under the HYTA. You would plead guilty, but your conviction would not be entered if you successfully complete probation.

    It is possible to enter into a deal for a delayed disposition outside of HYTA, but the prosecutor must consent to the deal (and, in my experience, rarely will).

    Okay I'm not very good with this court stuff.. So i need a lawyer and need to petition for disposition under that HYTA.. and I plead guilty, and successfully complete my probation, it won't be on my record?

    Default Shoplifting and HYTA

    If you are sentenced under HYTA, and successfully complete probation, no conviction is entered, so you can honestly answer that you have never been convicted of a crime. That does not mean that no records, for example of the arrest itself, will exist.

    If you are sentenced to probation, you would have to pay your court fines, successfully complete your probation, and do any community service or any similar tasks the court assigned.

    Not easily. Particularly for young adults who received HYTA disposition, as their records may be sealed.
