Michigan Attempted Felony
The state of Michigan has specific laws set for attempting to commit a felony offense. If the offense to be committed is not completed--due to interception, failing, or prevention--and the offense would otherwise have been punished by death, the individual will be charged with a felony and convicted of no more than ten years in a state prison. The attempt to commit a felony that would otherwise be punished by life imprisonment is also a felony conviction with punishment no more than five years and no less than one year in prison. If a person attempts to commit a felony that would otherwise earn a prison term of no less than five years, he or she will be convicted of a felony that is punishable by no more than two years with or without a one thousand-dollar fine.

Michigan Expungement
In Michigan no felony record is eligible for expungement. However there is a procedure, called setting aside a conviction, where a criminal act may be removed from public record. If a person has been charged with a felony or an attempted felony that would be punishable by life imprisonment or an attempted violation of criminal sexual conduct, he or she will not be eligible for setting aside.
