    Default Caught stealing at Mejier in Michigan

    I was caught stealing at mejier in MI. I took a texas insturment calculator worth $130 dollars and opened up scissors to open up the calculator package. As I walked out i was confronted by LP. I told them the whole story. Which was that I had the same calculator which my dad bought me but it was stolen at school. Afraid to tell my dad what had happended I misjudged and attemted to steal a calculator. The police came and took me to the station and fingerprinted me. My parents came by to get me out. They were not happy at all. Now Im waiting for a court date, and i want to know what should i say to the judge. Should i plead guilty? thats what my dad told me to do, not to lie in court. But my buddy said never plead guilty, youll screw yourself. Also i forgot to mention that all the mejier fine has been paid, which was around 350 dollars. Also do you think i could get off without a record and/or jail time if i didnt hire a lawyer, attorney or anything of that sort. I REALLY NEED HELP, PLEASE HELP ME. I AM COMPLETELY LOST.

    Are you charged in juvenile court, or are you and adult? (In Michigan, for criminal law purposes, people are charged as adults if they are aged 17 or older at the time of the offense.)

    If you are charged as a juvenile, your record would not be available to the public. (That can change if you get into trouble during your early adulthood.)
