Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

What are my rights during an investigation at my job?

I was wondering if when my job accuses me of having stolen items and says that they have a list of them, are they obligated to present me with this list or not?

Your employer is not required to provide this documentation in an initial investigation. If you are charged with a crime, you can obtain the information through discovery with the Commonwealth Attorneys Office. Also, if you file a civil claim for defamation, you can issue a subpoena duces tecum for the materials through the courts. You should obtain an attorney and only answer questions through that person.
