Hello I really need to vent and rant so please bear with me. This story begins on Sept. 20 2006. I was job hunting in Southern, CA. I went to a local temp agency (one I had previously been to). I gave the receptionist a copy of my social security card and California driver’s license. I stood near the door while she walked to a back office and copied them. She returned handed me my I.D. and Social security card, she then thanked me and said that the women who requested those items would give me a call. I proceeded to job hunt that day as I had an interview just minutes after I left that office. On October 1 2006 the county sheriff knocked on my front door with a warrant for my arrest. He didn't give me any information. He simply cuffed me and took me from my home in as patrol car. I was taken approx. 25 minutes away from my home to another male detective. Who then told me that I was being accused of stealing the purse of the receptionist from the temp agency? The credit cards and cash in the purse had been stolen. And he told me that I had used the women’s credit card to make 200.00 dollars worth of purchases at the local shopping mall. He stated that he put my I.D. photo in a line up and a witness from the department store picked me out of the line up. I was taken to a detention center booked and held on $15000.00 bail. I posted my own bail within 10 hours. I have an attorney now and we have looked at the police report. The only evidence against me is that the witness identified me in the lineup and that someone signed my name on the credit card receipt. My question to everyone out there is what should I do next. I do have an attorney but I'm running out of money. I'm a single mom. I'm not on welfare and I don't receive child support. I am a notary in California but work is slow. I've been in court every month since I was arrested, and I have the arrest on record in my county. I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions....
