does some one know what you can do if you had hypoglycemia and commited a crime while sick ?

I was in my neighborhood grocery store in 20004 I was charged with 2 degree retail fraud. I was in the store for 4 hours. I was told this by a worker after the incident because I do not remember 99 percent of it because I believe I had a hypoglycemic attack with my sugar. It is like being in a black out. I remember some one yelling at me and I remember a cop asking me were my car was after I left the police station and I told him I did not remember were my van was. I forgot it was at the grocery store, so I had him drop me off at this church a mile away that was closed. I am disabled and had my wheelchair in the van back at the grocery store. I think I fell asleep or passed out for a couple of hours until a stranger noticed me and I called my sister who is a nurse to come get me. she found cake icing and candy in the car and gave it to me and I felt much better. Now back to the incident itself I was told a few days later by 2 of the girls that new me well at the store, that I left an electric car in the middle of the aisle full of groceries and then went and got another one and started shopping all over again I opened several cans of cat food an smelled them and put them back on the shelf I don't even own a cat. I stuffed my purse with too many things to mention. I left my cart again in an aisle with my purse and wondered around the parking lot outside. I came back into the store and got into my cart and looked around for a while and when I went to get in line the manager called me out of line and into the back of the store. An inventory of the goods was taken of which included 65 greeting cards. Later the police were called and you know the rest. I found a piece of paper in my pocket that said to call the county building in 4 to 6 weeks to see if they were going to press charges I called 6 times in 6 months and there was nothing. No court date or warrant. I have been stopped by the cops twice in the last 5 years and when they ran me No warrants ever appeared. Last week I was in New Baltimore and thought I would stop at the court house to see if by chance there was a warrant and at first they said NO. But then as I was getting into my car a security guy said to come back in. So here I am. I was given a 1000 dollar personal. And I go for my pre-trial Oct.5 I want to take this to jury court and fight this all the way, I have some medical documentation because I use to weigh 458lbs. in 2002 I lost 230lbs in a little over 2 years by myself but my doctor and or doctors never lowered my diabetes medications which made my sugar drop even more. I'm actually blessed to be alive. Can some one tell me if I have good case and if so what should I do?I don't want to take a plea because I feel I am innocent. I would think my behavior would speak for itself . Also unfortunately one of my witnesses was tortured and murdered in her home along with her husband and the other girl does not work there any more.does anyone have any ideas???? Any responses would be gratefully appreciated. Greatfully yours, Christine
