How can I expunge a first time shoplifting charge?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Andrea Rogers (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Rogers Law Firm
If you have already pleaded guilty and been convicted of shoplifting, you can not get the conviction expunged, sealed, or removed. If you have _not_ already pleaded guilty, then hire a criminal defense attorney to handle the shoplifting charge. Depending on which court this is in and whether you have prior convictions on your record for shoplifting, your attorney can possibly get the charge reduced to "Littering" with just a fine and no court appearance.

Can police change your charges after they arrest you?

Philip Daniel Hache
Answered by attorney Philip Daniel Hache
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Phil Hache
The Prosecutor can file charges against you that are different than what the arresting agency claimed they arrested you for. Also, even after charges are officially filed, a prosecutor can amend the complaint to add or take away charges. You can call me at 818-336-1384 if you would like to discuss your case in more detail. Also, if you were not read your Miranda rights, then it may be possible for statements that you made after your arrest to be "suppressed" so they cannot be used against you in Court. I would recommend consulting with an attorney to speak about your case in more detail.

Should my brother still be n jail ??

Seth David Schraier
Answered by attorney Seth David Schraier
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Seth D. Schraier, P.C.
From the facts you provided, it seems that it will be difficult to prove that your brother committed the crime beyond a reasonable doubt, which is what the District Attorney will have to prove if they take the case to trial.  However, because this is a factual determination, it means that the case will still have to be heard in a trial, unless the District Attorney drops the charges before that point.
