One day while I was working I a pawnshop, an undercover officer stepped in with the intention to sell me a couple of mp3 players valued at aproximately $300. She allegedges that she explicitly said that the goods were stolen which isn't true. Common sense tells me the seriousness of the use of the word "stolen" in the kind of job I do. From my perspective all we had was a usual conversation regarding her property. She wanted me to buy them as is, which a refused, because it was improper and something that I knew would have gotten me into trouble with my boss, so I forced her to show me her ID. I guess she didn't have a choice at the moment so she walked out and brought her id. I wrote up the purchase ticket with as much detail as possible such as: model#, serial# condition & capacity and the next thing a I know is that like ten police officers were coming inside to arrest me. I am facing now a felony conviction class 3. In my heart I know that I didn't commit any crime. I was never arrested I've always respected the law and this is to much for me to cope with. I wish someone could give some guidance on my case. I have the copy of the receipt as proof on my behalf, but still the issue is solely the fact that she presented them to be stolen. It is amazing how a life can be destroyed when all you do is to try to become a better person. I am a college student a father and now unemployed. I guess no matter where you head to, where you look to, you are never safe in this world. If all the circumstances are correct you are doomed for life. Anyways, if someone could give some ideas for my defense a would greatly appreciated.
