My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
I was caught shoplifting at Walmart on Feb 28. I showed up to court, got a public defender, got booked and released, showed up for court 2 more times. Then on the day of my jury trial, I showed up, they continued it, I got put on phone stand-by. Case got continued again, and third time I got a call from my PD saying a judge dismissed my case have a nice day earlier this month. Walmarts lawyers have been calling me since March. They called the day my case got dismissed, 4 days later, and then nothing for 2 weeks. I figured I was good, they called again and now I don't know.
Can they do anything? I know if I call they will say I owe them money, but do I? Should I call my ex-PD?
Thanks in advance=)
