My question involves criminal law for the state of: MI
Ok me and someone else were caught shoplifting with about $240ish worth...Most items were found in my bag but i wasn't the one putting everything in there...
We are both 21 and This is my FIRST time getting into trouble, i have a CLEAN record and was wondering what may happen at court...
I've been readin alot about this online and through other peoples situations and know that it is a misdemeanor in the 2nd degree....
We were caught after leaving the store and pulled over by the police thats when they found the items in the bag...
Would telling teh judge most items were placed in my bag during the time we were in the car help with anything, the other person is willing to be honest and let the judge know they were put in my bag in the car...
Im REALLY nervous and made a BIGMISTAKE and def. learned from this...I dont think i can afford a lawyer...what may happen at court??
