My question involves criminal law for the state of: michigan
My son was arrested and is being accused of home invasion. He was asked by an old friend to give him and another person to a home. My son was asked to wait outside for them. They came running back to his car with stolen goods. My son claims he has no idea this is what was going to happen. He was just offering a ride. Being afraid and doing the wrong thing he drove off with the assailants. HE quickly dropped them off and they left a few items that were stolen with my son. One assailant was picked up and I guess named my son as the driver. My son was asked to come to the police station for questiong.
I believe my son is only partly at fault as he wouldnt knowingly do this since he is in the process of trying to join the military. HE just made a stupid mistake and looks very guilty in doing so.
He is being charged with home invasion altho he never got out of his car to enter the home. HE admits to guilt of leaving the scene and also had stolen goods but we feel the charge is harsh for what he did.
My question is will he have a chance to plea for a lesser charge of having stolen property in his possesion? This would then be a misdemeanor correct? The only prior charge he has is a misdemeanor of which a similar thing happened when some one had stolen property on them in his vehicle.
iI be able to get my vehicle back?
