My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
I was caught shoplifting items (for the first time) that came to a total cost of $72. The cop that wrote out the ticket for me wrote it as Retail Fraud 3rd degree. What exactly does that mean?
And also, when i got the postcard in the mail about when the court date is it said Retail Fraud 2nd degree. Should I call the court and tell them that the ticket says something different? PLEASE HELP! i have no clue what to do! I made a big mistake and i need help!
