灰熊及其他诸位,能否指教一下?

下面是我前几天在这儿发的问题.得到了很多人的帮助,先一并致谢!
现在我们的civil demand还没来.我们的情况是,店里当时没叫警察,几天后我们去找店家经理说仍然没report到police去,所也我老婆不会被arrested in the future.
看了您和其他诸位对下面另一案的指教,我想问的是,就您所知的,这种事有丝毫不让警察经手就告到DA那里这一说吗?难道这家店私设公堂?可我老婆当时在店里签字的那个"不许入内"的声明也不能叫什么"口供"吧.总之我现在的感觉是store manager所说的DA和City Court是吓唬人的成分居多.如果是最好了,能避免和法庭打交道我们求之不得.您觉得这种可能性有多大? 多谢指教!!

其实是个小东西不知怎么挂在了她毛衣上,她自己都不知道就走出电门.店员让她签了一个"一年之内不许进本店"的声明,还给了一张店里不久寄帐单索要"civil demand"的通知.没叫警察就让她回来了.她还会不会被charged for criminal offense?我们现在能做什么?请律师翻案吗? 我老婆英语都还不灵光,稀里糊涂就让人给摆布了.大家帮帮忙吧!

I went to the store

since my wife can't get in, I talked with the manager. He said since he chose not to call the police the other day, my wife will not be arrested and put in jail.
For the side of civil law, the store will send her a letter asking her to pay some money in about 2 weeks. If she pays the money, the civil side will be settled. If she doesn't pay, the store will sue her in a CIVIL court.
For the side of criminal law, the store has filed a charge to the city we live in, from now on it's the District Attorney who will decide whether s/he prosecute my wife or not, the store has no longer any control in this domain. Since the hairclip found on my wife's sweater is of small value (Our decision for now is to wait for the civil demand. My wife is so scared she wants to pay the store back, and the best outcome is that the DA drops the case from his/her side. If the DA does prosecute her, we'll find a lawyer then.
