My question involves criminal law for the state of: INDIANA
a little over a month ago i was shopping at walmart. i had meletonin, 2 packs of brake lights for my truck, 3 different finger nail files (could not decide which ones to get) toilept paper, nail hardner, lotion, and few other small items(all in my hands i did not get a cart). one of the files was open at the top so i slid one out a bit to feel the grit.. did not like it so i slide it back in and put it back. while in the grocery/glade aisle i did not have a free hand so a placed a few random items in my pocket. light bulbs being one i know for sure.. after decide=ing to pass on the air fresheners i walked to spice aisle, then on towards the register, took the items from my pocket, decided not to get hardener, file, one pack of the bulbs, and meletonin, maybe another item, placedd thmback on the shelf and proceeded to check out. bought items, was stopped leaving the store by LP, brought into a room, emptied my poockets and searched by police and of course i had nothing on me but the items i just bought in the bag. i was still charged with theft/criminal conversion. for the items i placed back on the shelf. how is this possible?
what do i need to do.. i cant afford counsel and judge seems to think i can.. please help.
