    Ok but from my view I see why they thought this was intentional.
    Understood. In retrospect, I understand why they did as well. Without a doubt, I should have just asked for a price check instead of assuming. I'm not trying to come off as a victim and I realize the seriousness of my poor decision. Nevertheless, I think criminal charges are a bit severe and think they should be dropped/dismissed. Do you believe this is possible?

    Possible yes but who knows. Your action intentional or not was a crime and you can be successfully prosecuted for it.

    My understanding is that when a "not guilty" plea is presented to the judge, typically a hearing will be scheduled. What should I expect?

    To face your charges and either defend them (with or without Attorney) or enter into a plea deal!

    ........He then explained that he saw me switch the price tags and pay the wrong price for the wire.......
    You may want to get a real good lawyer. The rest of your 'whitewash' pretty much comes undone with this tantalizing tidbit.........

    I'd have to agree, if that's part of the LP's statement to the police you're pretty much hosed.

    the one thing I noticed is that although you say the packaging was damaged, you do not state the packaging or the pricing or UPC code was missing.

    If there was a price code still on the package but unreadable, you may be able to claim your defense. If you had removed any identifying labeling (don;t forget, apparently the LP folks watched your actions), you are screwed.

    I have purchased a damaged package item before and taken a bar code I believed to be the correct one to the counter. When I did so, I also informed the cashier that I believed the bar code I handed them to be correct. In todays worls of electronic registers, it can almost always be confirmed since the code brings up not only a price but a description of the merchandise associated with that bar code.

    If the merchandise did not match the code, then the cashier would do a price check to obtain the correct price. You should have noticed that the merchandise asssociated with the bar code you presented did not match the merchandise you were actually purchasing.

    I suspect this was an intentional act and not the mistake you claim it to be but what I think is irrelevent, it;s the judge and/or the jury you need to convince.

    it will be a bench trail were you will get up in front of the judge and pled your case. THen the LP and the police officer that came will also get to do the same thing. And if the LP is smart and has video that shows you had done so knowing you where doing this(i.e. looking around,taking off a price tag, etc) then you are screwed. But if you never did no such thing it comes down to you being able to prove your side. the judge will then make his/her decision and if you are found guility he/she will give you any of the following" jail time, a fine, community service, etc.

    also i don't believe you.. your story is full of holes and i am telling you this because if you really did not do it on purpuse the judge is going to see the same holes. 1) you seem to have worked with this wire before and would have known it was not even close to $40.00 but you said nothing. 2) you never say if you stuck that bar code on the item or you just took the wire with a piece of plastic wrap with a bar code and told the caisher you think it is for this item. 3) you never told the cashier before she rang the item that you are not sure if it is the correct barcode for it. And by the way the LP will more then likley have video of all this.

    You should "expect" not to stick with the story you been trying to pass off here.
