I would let an attorney worry about all of the legal issues in your case. I see little you can do on your own. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss.

If one is charged with shoplifting in municipal court, the statute of limitations allows one year to file the charge.. If shoplifting is charged as a crime, which must be heard in Superior Court, the statute of limitations allows five years to file the charge.. You seem to have been charged already.

A statement made while in custody should be preceded by a warning as to the right to remain silent and the right to have an attorney present during questioning. If no statement was made the failure to give the warning is of no consequence.

HIRE AN ATTORNEY. So far, you have no talent for acting as your own attorney.

Call me if you like.

People have a real hard time with this Miranda rule. They think the failure to read the rights means you get out of jail free. That ain't the case. It's only if the cops INTERROGATE you. They didn't need to ask you any questions, because they found enough evidence without you saying anything. So, they don't care what you had to say--they have enough evidence without you saying a word.
