More details to this question:
My 80 years old grandmother is filing charges against me saying I stole money from her account she let me barrow the money she wrote me the checks that I of course cashed, but coincidently someone did steal five thousand dollars out of her account but I did not. How do I go about proving that she is senile getting older forgets she lent me the money and i didnโt steal from her?
You don't. You hire an attorney to help you, if you are, in fact, charged with the theft. If the police contact you, you should not talk to them unless your attorney is present.
You have the right to remain silent. Only idiots talk to investigators/cops. Remember, no matter what you say it will be twisted around and used against you later.
