My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
I was citied for shoplifting while i was having a seizure or just after one... I was detained and don't remember a lot about this but after the incident I was given a citation at the hospital for shop lifting.... the officer wrote a citation for shoplifting and then took my drivers license noting that i was disoriented, confused and not making sense. my wife came to the hospital and i was released to her with the doctor (According to my wife) asking if I had these before and if I would be safe? she said yes and he also noted that i was not giving correct answers to questions and seemed dazed disoriented and didn't know where I was.. To this day i remember going to the store or THAT I HAD BEEN THERE AND GONE... I remember my wife coming to the hospital (kind of but not 100%) I remember lots of people being around and for whatever reason someone kept asking for car keys and wanting to drive my car.... Now just prior to all of this i had been scheduled for a spine operation and was and had been in a lot of pain. I go to the VA and just the week prior i was given meds to help relax the muscle in the back and spine. I have been diagnosed with Partial complex temporal lobe seizures about 8? years ago and had several seizures before the VA doctors got a handle on hat was occurring.. I know they wanted to operate on a part of the brain to stop or end the seizures but it was something like a 50/50 chance of loosing all memory.. Or something in that area... I don't want to because to this date after a major seizure some years ago i don't remember the early part of my life at all... Anyway with this situation when i went to the first hearing i tried to let the judge now but he would not hear anything and assigned me to a public defender,,, The public defender has told me the judge will probably not even entertain any of my situation and said he would try to get a plea!!! any way in the meantime i go to the VA and mentioned what had happened and why did my meds fail ??? what i was told is the meds i had been given to help the pain along with the fact the doctor had switched my seizure meds to a generic type. this is what the Neurologist put in a letter for me to give to the judge that a combination of med change, stress, and the additional meds triggered the seizure, in fact now latter according to people that were around me I had several of them over a 3 day period leading up to this... Showing the Public defender the letter from the VA doctor he said "I doubt if the Judge will even look at this, and even if he does he will give a stiff fine or probation or something" Now i don't remember it all only small bits and parts,,, but the officer that cited me tool the drivers license because i was disoriented and not making sense... The VA now has my meds back on track and said i will probably go on with life and without seizures. The VA is also monitoring me more now and once I get the spinal operation will re evaluate the seizure situation... In the mean time what can I tell the Judge? and as the Public defender said, The judge will probably ignore any of your story}}}} I feel a little bit ashamed, and a lot violated as I don't remember any of what happened in the store except people, and some one or several people want my car keys?? to move it? or drive it or something and yes they claim i had things in my pocket and paid for others but really can tell you if I did or didn't or what any one said to me.. I remember the hospital , but thought I went there! to top it all off I live in Texas, and was just visiting and now I have to stay until all this is over (I go back end of September) I don't want to get the spine operation in Ca, I want to go back to the VA in TX where they know more about all of this...What should I do? BTW Texas is giving me back the Drivers LIc.. as the VA told them it was Medication mix up and the State will accept that as i had not had any seizures for several years... I hope i did not make this to confusing!
