My question involves criminal law for the state of: Minnesota, Hennepin County
Two years ago my daughter was loaned an iPad from her school which assigns iPads to all the students to use until they graduate or move out of the district. So she used the ipad for 2 years. Then we moved and in September 2, 2015 she was enrolled in a new school in a new district. I talked to the iPad school district on several occasions and even have emails where I state that I am not keeping the iPad I just want photos and personal items removed from the iPad. I returned the iPad on March 28th, 2016. On April 1 I received a summons to appear in court and that I have been charged with criminal theft with the intent of permantly trying to deprive the district of this item. I have no criminal activity in my background beside a speeding ticket. I have spoken with one lawyer and he reccommends this diversion thing where I have to have no criminal activity for a year and then my case will be dismissed, then I can have it expunged. I want to know whey the charges cannot be dropped since I had returned the iPad, I never wanted to keep it and have emails to the school stating such. They have never sent me any letters saying I would be charged with a crime if not returned or returned by a certain date which made me believe that I had until the end of the school year just like any kid in school would have. I have emails and phone messages from the school and at no time did anyone mention that I was setting myself up to be charged with a crime. Any help would be appreciated.
