I'm in Michigan, and my brother stole two donation jars from a local restaurant. He's 17, and a stupid kid. The total value was about $15, but he pushed a waitress, so now it's considered robbery, do you think a court appointed lawyer could lessen the charges to petty larceny pretty easy? I know it's Christmas time, but really, he's a kid doing a stupid thing, and I'm not trying to defend him, but he really doesn't understand the trouble he's in.

Robbery yes, because it involves force or compulsion
Larceny: It depends on the degree or the amount. In NY State less then $1,000 is a misdemeanor or Petit Larceny. $1,000.01 a Felony, Grand Larceny

Robbery, armed, 1st degree felony in NJ. In New Jersey you can use your hand as a pretend weapon, rob someone only of one dollar, and spend 10 to 20 years (or life if a repeat offender) behind bars.

Robbery is, but larceny isn't if it's what they call petty larceny. Has to be grand larceny.

Bamma say what you steal. Bamma say you rob yoyo. Bamma say that just a good butt paddling. Bamma say no felony at all. Bamma say there a mini larceny and a grand larceny. Bamma say law very tricky. Bamma say he no public defender. Bamma say depends. Bamma say so.

probably misdemeanors unless it can be proven that he intended to harm someone. Most likely will be dismissed especially if he is a juvenile.
