Re: theft by unlawful taking

It is not possible to give you a clear legal answer to your inquiry without a more detailed evaluation of the facts of your case. Several questions are presented:

1. Did you conceal any item in your pocket, under your clothing, or in your purse?

2. What were the "other crimes" you were suspected of, and were you charged for these crimes?

3. What was the value of the item(s) you were accused of taking?

You are best advised to seek the services of a competent Kentucky attorney. You can get a referral to a criminal law specialist from the Kentucky Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, at

Additionally, you can telephone your local bar association for a referral, or can find a good lawyer on-line at the Kentucky Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service:
