Hello J:

At this point in the criminal justice system, there's only ONE person who has the job of defending you, and that's your lawyer. If he or she isn't doing their job, fire them and hire one who will.

Do it in writing sent certified return receipt requested. Send a copy to the court and to the prosecutor. If you cannot NOW afford a lawyer, the court will re-assign an attorney to you, but probably won't do it again.

Your attorney can subpeona the manager or security manager of the store to testify whether there are security cameras in the store and whether they captured the incident.
