My question involves defamation in the state of Texas
I have been charged with theft at a store based off a video surveillance identifying a woman that resembles myself. The detective informed me that they printed a photo of my face and posted it in the employee break room, when I questioned why they would post my photo in the break room when I have never in my life been in trouble with this store before he stated that they post everyone's picture up that looks suspicious. I then replied ell isn't that discrimination because almost everyone looks suspicious he quickly moved on to the next topic. He then asked me if I was curious as to how they found me, I responded not really because I wasn't aware that anyone was looking for me because I have not done anything wrong.
He stated that one of the security guards recognized not only myself but the vehicle I was driving at the time from 2 to 3 years ago, I then stated again well I don't see how that is possible because I have never been in trouble with this store and that vehicle you have a picture of I have not owned even a year, I just got that car 8 months ago. Later while waiting in the courtroom to get reset my attorney allowed me to look at the evidence that they had and it was a store employee that pointed me out not a security guard. The reason this is a big factor is that it just so happens that there is a woman at this store that I know very well, and her and I had a MAJOR falling out back in 2005 where she verbally threatened to get me back due to her believing I set her up and reported her for her actions to the police.
I am also a good target for any detective because they feel I fit the profile, due to I have 2 priors for theft dated back in 2001 and then again in 2007. As well as I am undergoing a lawsuit with the state of Texas right now due to my record indicating I have more criminal charges than I actually do. In other words I have 5 charges for Credit Card Abuse that come on my background whose cause number belongs to someone else, and 3 more credit card abuse charges come up where 2 of them are the same cause number and that cause number was dismissed and the 1 charge for credit card abuse is the only one that is factual and that occurred back in 2004. I feel like I have been Wrongfully Profiled as a Thief and honestly set up. What are you thoughts and what can be done about this situation.
I am just trying to live my life raise my kids and move on from my past that keeps haunting me from 14 years ago, I have been wrongfully accused of a crime now this being the 3rd time. Please if anyone can help me I would be ever so grateful.
