I was clocking in at work earlier than I was scheduled and sometimes on days that I wasn't scheduled. I did this for about 4 months and the amount could be about $1500. I was let go and now I have an arraignment next Friday. It was at my school, while I was an undergraduate. Now, I have graduated and I really don't need this as a felony on my record, because I will basically never get another job.
1) For the false pretense charge, don't I actually have to tell a lie for it to count as false pretense?
2) In Michigan, what is the usual sentence for embezzlement charges for this amount?
3) I don't have money for a lawyer, so at the arraignment, will I have enough time to talk to my court-appointed lawyer and ask about my options?
