If I have been accused for stealing and was arrested but completely accidental on my end do I have a case?

Retail fraud requires an intent to steal. Taking items you did not pay for suggests an intent to steal, but is not absolute proof of intent to steal, since the taking of the items without paying could have been unintentional. You could go to trial and testify to your defense, and perhaps the jury would believe your explanation. Or, perhaps the prosecutor will make you a plea bargain offer that you find acceptable.

Can I get in trouble for falsely being accused of shoplifting?

Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
What does falsely accused mean? The Walmart folks think that you shoplifted? Were you ever arrested? If you were not arrested then there will be no court date and you will not be facing any charges. If you were arrested, what were you arrested for? Shoplifting? If it was shoplifting then you forgot some part of the story where you exited the store. In regards to the possible plea offer, see my website under FAQ.
