Exclamation Innocent, not according to the camera

I was working at a department store for 5 days, and because i had experience they only trained me on their registers for one day. I was never given a hand book either. Okay, on the 4th day 2 women and a child came in the store and filled up 4 shopping carts full of clothes and purses. They came through my line to check out, throughout the whole process, one of the women held a conversation the whole time. She asked me how long i was working there, she asked me if i liked working there, she said she could get me a better job at bestbuy working as a manager, because she was a hiring manager. The whole while i was SCANNING and taking off SECURITY TAGS. She mentioned they were in a rush, so i began to speed up my pace a little. I had to take othe hangers off the clothes, the scan the item, remove the security tags, fold and bag the item. So she asked if she could help me by bagging. I was never told this was not possible, so i handed her some bags. I was sure i scanned everything. She said she was paying witha check, everything rang up to $2024.00. She wrote out a check, i checked her id writing out all her info. She said my bank is going to ask for a code to authorize the check. I said ok and ran the check thru. Sure enough it asked for an authorizaton cade, she gave me the code 9091 it went through and i gave her the receipt, and that wa that. The next day i was arrested...

I was told i failed to call for assistance when the computer asked for an authorization code. I was also told that i failed to scan a few of her items, and that they had me on tape. I didn't believe it, so they showed me the tape, and i had forgotten to scan some of her items. According to the store $900 worth. Even though i didn't intentionally help that woman steal, they can't find her and need someone to pin it on. My lawyer who after seeing the tape has a hard time believing my innocence, has told me that the tape is proof that i know these people (which i don't) and that i helped them steal.

I plead Overwhelmed.
My next court date is in october and i'm looking at a felony charge, but IM INNOCENT.

and the case is going to be tried with a jury....

I unknowingly allowed her to follow through with her intentions, however, I did not purposely assist her.

ANY ADVICE?

Default Re: Innocent, not according to the camera

You have to make sure that that person is found, and that it can be proven that you have nothing to do with them. That would likely make it appear an accident. Hire a private detective if need be.

World Law could intervene as well if need be--email them.
