What evidence does the court need to convict someone of theft?

Question

This is quick version. Worked for a company, husband did too. Decided to put a lawsuit against them so they dropped his hours, and then terminated. Also, dropped my hours off although I said that I was not going to be involved in suit. Now all of a sudden my bank deposit is missing. What evidence do they need to convict me of theft. How can I prove I didn't steal the deposit? I am a nursing student and this type of thing could ruin me. I'm scared, please answer fast. Thank you

ok they say they have me on camera leaving the building with a deposit bag, but they don't see me drop it off at the bank on camera. I had just had a disturbing meeting with my ceneral manager about my husband's lawsuit and was distressed, I don't remember for certain that I took the bag, but it's probably correct that I did. I remember leaving, crying on the phone to my husband about my hours, stopped at a station to get smokes, ran to the store to get toilet paper, and then went home. I have checked the house since they told me, not here, checked the car not here. I do know I did not steal the money. This whole mess has me upset. I never wanted to be involved in the suit, but it seems I have been retaliated against just because of my husband.

Answer 1

Well there usually needs to be a witness to the theft or the property has to be recovered. Did anyone else have access to the deposit? Usually if multiple people have access to money, it is very hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt who took it.

My advice to you would be not to make any statements about it. If you are questioned by the police, simply say "I didn't steal anything." then ask to end the questioning and speak to an attorney.

This does not make you look guilty. Guilty people try to explain away their actions. Innocent people get mad and want legal advice.

However, they probably can still fire you since most states are "at will".

Answer 2

First and foremost, you need to see an attorney NOW. All they need is evidence that convinces the jury "beyond a reasonable doubt" that you took the deposit. That doesn't have to be anything concrete at all. It can be purely circumstantial if they're lawyer is good at presentation, and also if yours sucks at jury selection. See an attorney NOW. There are quite a few interesting points you stated here that your attorney needs to hear. I wish you the best.
