Burnham, was incorrectly charged due to the inclusion of sales tax while determining retail value of the stolen merchandise. In New Jersey, shoplifting is defined in the fourth degree as a retail value below $500, and in in the third degree if valued between $500 and $75,000. Third-degree is considered a more serious charge and carries a more severe sentence.
