Our Client was arrested for retail theft, which was recorded on the store’s surveillance camera. While the person on the video had a familiar resemblance to our client, the person was at least 40 or 50 pounds heavier than our Client. Our Client provided us with 3 alibi witnesses who would testify that they were with our Client miles from the store at the time of the theft. Additionally, they would all testify that our client was never the weight of the person on video. Our Client even came to the courthouse to have the prosecutor take her picture to compare to the video. Nonetheless, the State refused to drop the charge until we set the case for a trial. At that point, the prosecutor, the third one to be handling the case, finally saw the light and dropped the case outright.
