Help! Going to court over fake bag! Need advice!

Ahhh. That makes more sense. So yes, the judge can decide whether he thinks the D.A.'s evidence calls for sending the case to trial or not, or whether they will plea it down (as given in my above post).

Hopefully, they will take it to a jury, and the jury will see how stealing really is a crime, no matter whether it's done via craig's list, ebay, a bricks & mortar store, or anywhere else. Do the crime, do the time (let's keep hoping)!

That sounds good. Although she wasn't ordered to pay restitution, you won't have trouble getting a judgment in small claims court because she has basically already admitted to doing it. You just need to prove the amount she owes you.

So did she get jail time or probation or anything else? Make sure you have a copy of that judgement and all minute orders from the proceedings to take to small claims court. You don't need an attorney, can bring witnesses (your boyfriend or such), and as much paperwork as you need. You just go down to the courthouse, file some paperwork, have her served, and wait for your day in court.

Winning will be a slam-dunk. You will then need to get the $ from her. Find out all you can about her, what she owns (any property, car, etc.), her job (for filing liens) and get those forms in advance, since you will likely need them. But initially, just file the small claims paperwork. You can file for up to $7500 in small claims court in California.
