    See par. 4 and on:

    (4) A person who does any of the following in a store or in its immediate vicinity is guilty of retail fraud in the third degree, a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than $500.00 or 3 times the value of the difference in price, property stolen, or money or property obtained or attempted to be obtained, whichever is greater, or both imprisonment and a fine:

    It is a "lesser" offense than 1st or 2nd degree. If you can not afford an attorney, the court will appoint one, but if you are actually guilty, you have to decide if you want to plead that way and ask the court for leniency and make sure you tell the court you are sorry for what you did and will never do it again.

    Aaron, the web site owner/administrator is an attorney licensed in Michigan, maybe he can offer some thoughts if he reads this.
