NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - It took nearly two years, three courts and five judges, but a lawyer has cleared himself of a shoplifting conviction. At the center of the dispute? $3.76.
A three-judge appeals panel ruled that a charge of shoplifting should not have applied when Adam Goodmann walked out of a Walgreens without paying for a set of photo prints.
Goodmann claimed he should have been charged $5.99 as promoted in a flier; the store in Fair Lawn wanted $9.75.
