    Question Caught with Extra Items

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA

    I walked out of the store with my purchased items but I didn't purchase a few items that were in the stroller. My stroller has some personal items
    in it as well and got mixed up with the store items.
    I walked out of the store and two people stopped me. They brought me back to a room and there were two cops already there! They took down my information and tried to get me to admit to the theif but I said I didn't mean to take those items. They said I was lying. They said they were going to take me in but they didn't. They issued me a ticket to appear in court.
    They did not tell me how much my items were but I hear them talking about it and making note of the items. BUT....everything I touched or purchased was on sale! I only buy sale items. They went off the ticket price. Is that right? If they go by sale price the total will be under $50.00 (I think) if they go by regular price it will diffently be over.
    I did not admit to anything so can I plead not quilty? They were really pushing at me to admit it. Can this be resolved before the court date?
    They also told me that they will burn a CD of me shopping. They focused in on me right when I walked in they said. Hmmmm.......
    I cannot sleep or eat. My stomach is in knotts and it's the unknown that is driving nuts. I just want to get this over with. It's like a big dark cloud over my head and I can't even enjoy life right now.
    Thank you in advance for your time.

    You should consult an Attorney and discuss plea options. There is no need to name store here

    Please note that I am not saying you are lying. I have no reason to disbelieve you.

    However, just about everyone the store catches who IS shoplifting, also tells them that "they didn't mean to"; it was a "mistake"; they "forgot" or some variant of that. Most of those people are lying in their teeth. How is the store supposed to know that you are different?
