If you are arrested for shoplifting, can the store keep items of yours that did not come from their store?

Criminal Law lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
As far as your property that you actually purchased if that is the case, it will be returned to you. As far as pleading guilty to a crime you did not commit, no attorney would have you do that, as the ultimate decision is yours and a judge will ask you that before he/she would accept your plea that you knowingly and voluntarily entered the plea without threat or coercion. Not knowing the facts of your case, I cannot second guess your attorney. There must be some major problem with your case for the attorney to suggest that you plead.

If arrested and incarcerated, how long does the court have to give you an initial hearing on a misdemeanor charge?

Criminal Law lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
If you are arrested and held, the police are to bring you to the local court on the next business day for arraignment. This can be longer if you are released. Once you are arraigned, you must be brought back to court, if held on bail, within 30 days. These requirements can be waived by you or your lawyer.
