I'm not sure why this story's only surfacing now, after about four years, but that doesn't change what happened. When you're ready to join the rest of us civilized nations, America, you just let us know, okay?
Edit: For the sake of balance (though I'm not inclined to be charitable), this is all the lady's side of the story. And it's only surfacing now because she only now filed suit. Still, unless the core facts of the story are all lies, it can't really get any better.
I'm not inclined to side with anybody on this one until I get the full story. The article came across to me as incredibly biased by the way it was written, not in any kind of journalistic manner. The fact that the Courthouse News Service happens to be by lawyers, for lawyers, doesn't work in its favor either.
I can't blame anybody for the whole mess, but I'm not inclined to believe it on these grounds alone. If you find anything else on this, I'd like to see which side proves stronger.

All the information in the story comes from the lady's complaints, so of course it's biased--it's one side of the story. But unless the story is pure lies (like, the actual reason he was deported and the cops involved is not because of theft but because the husband pulled out an unlicensed pistol and threatened staff or something), it's not really that much better.
If it does turn out to be a fabrication, of course, then, well, hey, I only passed on what I could get and I'd update the info. Presumably the other side's story will come out as the case proceeds, and then we'll be able to compare both.

Even if she stole a chicken for 2,90... doesn't calling police and putting them in jail cost much more than that? They could have just given them a fine.
But seriously. Why would a pair with someone not yet a citizen try stealing something? Especially something that is hardly worth anything.
This reminds me strongly of the Simpson epsiode where marge was accused of stealing at Quick-E-Mart.

It's my understanding (though I have not found proof of this) that the husband is Mexican. If you believe her side of the story, this was racially motivated. And it's in Alabama, that bastion of racial equality and justice.
I've also heard, again from a source with no backup, that the charges were dropped, and the process in which they were dropped is the one typically used where fatal flaws in the prosecution's story are found. Again, I have no source for this other than a commenter with no proof to back themselves up, so they might just not like people coming to the defense of a Mexican (the lady's statements don't actually say he's Mexican, but her description of events has the security guard essentially make it clear that the husband isn't a white guy who speaks English as his first language).

Calling Police is against Wal*Mart policies and procedures. I've worked LP enough to know this story is kind of bullshit. (And been on the other side of the coin myself >.>) But, I suppose Wal*Mart is all kinds of easy to pick on as a generic bad guy. If you're going to sue someone, It might as well be some big faceless corporation with an already poor reputation.
The procedure by the way, Is to over-saturate someone suspected of shoplifting a significant amount with customer service. A flood of Can-I-Help-yous often makes big lifters drop their gear and get out.

Doesn't take much does it? I was the calmest security guard my company had to offer. I'd just ask people kindly to stop or leave and never once had to lay my hands on anyone. If you handle a situation properly, people tend to be good and do what they are told.
