What is the name of your state? South Carolina
Identity theft was committed against elderly woman whose house I was renting from her daughter. She wouldn't provide me a written lease or permit me to transfer utilities to my own name, and she had me collect and forward her mother's mail to her. After I left the rental, the daughter filed a police report implicating me in credit card fraud against her mother (now deceased). I agreed to a polygraph, apparently unwisely. When I was called backin , police said they had evidence of my guilt but showed me only a copy of a postal mail forwarding order that had requested forwarding of the mother's mail to my new address, which I did NOT file, but no other documents relating to any fraud. Police claim they can compel a handwriting sample? Seeking advice on options for defense.
