Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kentucky

Re: shoplifting

Your question is so vague as to be one to which a ready reply cannot be furnished. Is there one case against you and another by you against the company? Or is there a single criminal case against you for shoplifting? Without knowing what the nature of the proposed evidence is one cannot answer your question.

Re: shoplifting

There is no crime in Kentucky named "shoplifting". It is Theft By Unlawful Taking. If the item is valued over $300 it is a Class D felony charge. (1 to 5 years in prison and/or up to 10,000 in fines). Otherwise it is a Class A misdemeanor charge. (Up to 365 days in the County Detention Center and/or up to 500 in fines). No court is ever permitted to recieve evidence that is known to be irrelevant or immaterial to any issue in the case. Irrelevant means the evidence does not tend to prove any fact that is material to the case. Immaterial means the evidence is logical unconnected to any issue in the case. I hope this answers your question.
