Re: Arrested for Shoplifting, but Had No Merchandise on Me
You are still hard to understand: May I ask if your primary language is something other than English? Or learning difficulty?
Why did you hide the purchased item?
Did you know your friend was stealing?
After you came back in, you admit to knowing he was stealing, or helping him steal?
You should get a Criminal Defense Attorney. If your primary language is not English, ask for a translator, so the lawyer will be better able to assist you.
Re: Got Cought Shoplifting but Never Had Anything Court Today
This "master mine" came up with this foolproof plan:
1. he would buy an expensive item
2. give receipt for item to friend
3. friend would walk out with unpaid for item, but be able to produce a receipt, thus proving he wasn't stealing.
Yes, op, you are just as culpable (if not more so) than your friend.
Get a lawyer.
Re: Arrested for Shoplifting, but Had No Merchandise on Me
why did you go back..?
to purposely get caught?
wow...........................
how old are you?...
normally they wont press any charge unless they have enough evidence to convict you
the only way out of this, is that only if you are really innocent, or you didnt admit anything in the room nor they have proof. OR you are young.... diversion programs might avoid criminal records for you....
Re: Got Caught Shoplifting but Never Had Anything Court Today
More than likely not, you are probably going to be charged along with your friend.
