My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
Can someone please help me that knows about Michigan law? I got caught shoplifting in Kmart. It's the second time but the first time was over seven years ago. I don't know why I tried it again. I know that there is something wrong, I'm severely depressed, been unemployed for over two years and have been searching for another job with no luck. I haven't received my court notice yet (it's been over a week since the incident happened). My questions are:
Will I go to jail? I have no money, no recourse to get any money but don't want to go to jail. Can I do community service or some type of work program in lieu of going to jail or paying fines?
Will they give me a lawyer if I have no money? I need advice. I don't know what to do. I don't want to go to jail.
Would the judge give me a chance to find a job and delay me paying the fine rather than going to jail? I stole under $60, it was clothes and some food.
I found a state funded program that will pay for me to see a therapist, will this help my case? What else can I do to show the judge that I'm truly sorry and want to be a better person?
I'm so scared, I can't sleep. I'm so scared of going to jail. I don't know what to do, can someone please help me? Thank you.
