What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?Georgia I know someone who was written a citation when caught shoplifting at Walmart. Not long after, he was sent a letter from a law firm saying that they were filing a statutory civil suit, (representing Walmart) against him because of the situation with the shoplifting charge. They were requesting he pay 425.00 in damages. Is this to settle out of court or is he being sued just because he shoplifted? What exactly is going on with this? Thanks to anyone willing to enlighten me on what this is all about!!!!
