Question

Is it illegal to put merchandise in your purse as long as you do not leave the store without paying for it or putting the item back?



Answer

As soon as you conceal the merchandise (put it in your purse) you have broken the law.



Answer

Neither a judge, nor a jury is likely to believe that. Perhaps you have another defense or mitigation. Seek a confidential consultation with an experienced criminal defense attorney. Beware that on line posts are not confidential.
