If the company is out of business why don’t they just charge her for the cost of the video and be done with it? Waste of taxpayer money to arrest, jail, go to court with her.

Didn’t video rental companies used to require a deposit against loss/theft/damage?

Shouldn’t she also be charged with renting a JLo movie?

I hate these threads. And I don’t know what’s worse about them, the “outrage,” or the way the press gins it up.

She was maybe 18 when she rented it, depending on her birth date. Maybe she wasn’t even legally liable. Stupid to charge her, IMO.

Isn’t there a statute of limitations on petty theft?
To: Dallas59
Well it was a J Lo movie, she should be charged on that basis alone.
To: Dallas59
Is there a statute of limitations?
If it’s 10 years, you can sort of see the point.
Sort of.
To: Dallas59
Arrested for an obsolete vhs video from a store that’s no longer in business.
This is the stupidity of our crazy criminal justice system. Notice nothing was done about her original complaint brought to the police either.

Hope she doesn’t have any overdue library books. Probably a capital crime.

Probably a limitation on filing charges. She has had a warrant since 05 though

Sounds like they should have had the SWAT Team serve a no knock warrant on her.

Depends. And what about "failure to appear?" The "theft" may have occurred in 2005, but when were the subsequent court dates that she blew off?
Like I said, I hate these threads.

I remember being harassed by a video store for not returning a movie. Problem was, I did return it! Through the return slot. No way to prove I had. I refused to pay for it.
