My question involves criminal law for the state of: Okay, so I'm stupid, I got in trouble for Retail Fraud 3rd degree a year ago and just recently got in trouble again with retail fraud from jc Penny's in Michigan totalling in less than 30 $. I am 18 years old. I cannot afford a lawyer, but this is not me...i was not thinking I need the judge to know this...i am a honor roll student and a lot of community service and other things. It was a lapse of judgement. I want to have a statement to tell the Judge, but what should it say?
Also, what do you think my sentence will be?
I know, this is dumb and stupid; i deserve no empathy.
