An innocent family was kept at a Local Walmart in Maine, in which was falsely accused of robbery of Debra McCann's two children Jillian 16 years old and Jonathan 12 years old.

The Defendent

Walmart workers were being negligent and kept the McCann's for an hour and not knowing if the family was the family that stole 2 weeks ago. by law you can't hold anyone locked without leaving unless your a law enforcer.

This is a

False Imprisonment case in that the Wal-Mart workers wrongfully accused the McCann family of a family that stole from the store 2 weeks before. And held them for at least an hour but weren't sure if this is the correct family which wasn't.

Damages

I agree a 100% that they got $20,000 in compensatory damages because nobody should have to deal with being wrongfully imprisoned for simply not doing anything and for them its an absolute waste of time to be held for nothing that they did.
