    Default Store's Involvement After Charges Are Filed

    The store is Neiman Marcus in CA, police came and arrested me. My arraignment is in 3 weeks. I am pleading not guilty. I would like to know what the store's involvement will be from this point forward? I understand that if the case goes to trail, the store will send someone as witness.
    If not, will the store LP get involved in pretrail conferences, sentencing etc? Will the DA contact the store and involve them in the process?
    The store hasn't sent civil demand yet, but if they do I will pay whatever they demand.

    Thanks.

    If you fight charge store is likely to send the LP(s) who stopped you to testify they will bring their reports and video footage if any. If you are guilty and fight charge this could result in stiffer penalty. You should consult with a criminal defense Attorney before your next court date

    The store gave the video to the police officer at the time of the arrest. The DA has already viewed the video and and based on the video decided to file charges. I don't intend to take this to trail and I'm hoping the store's LP would not influence the DA during the pretrail conferences.

    Thanks for your input.
