I was wrongfully accused of stealing a golf cart in North Carolina. Please read all. INEED MAJOR HELP?

I was stranded one night having to walk about 25 miles no phone no contacts, no cash. Me & one other person walked maybe 5 miles before an officer almost runs us over on the side of the rode, he was past the line & we were on the grass next to the highway. Minutes later the officer u-turned & headed back are way. He stopped ask us where were going, we told him what happened he ask for our IDs, checked them & offered to give us a ride up the road. He only took us two miles to Micky ds and a has station. We walked all the way home. Two weeks later were being charged with stealing a gold cart that was no where near where we were. The time on the police report don't match up, also I personally know the women at the drive trough, she seen us sitting outside of the Mac Donald's. the crime was vein commented while we were their I have credit card statements & her testomony. The video looks nothing like us, I'm 190 ponds my friend is us as tall as me & also around 170 pounds the guys in the video were lucky to be 140 pounds two skinny guys compared to me & I've been working at golds gym for awhile, and working out since the 9th grade

We went to court once they threw it out, then a few weeks later they brought it back up, I was expedited by the state to go in front of a grand jury. Now I'm having to pay a bigger lawyer fee & my friend is in jail because of it. I've lost my job due to absence of court & my name being in the paper, giving me a bad reputation of all who saw it

Is their any legal help I can get. My former lawyer says we can't take out charges against the county BUT I HAVE A 1 YEAR old daughter I'm struggling to take care of due to this situation having to pay lawyer fees when I'm making minimum wage just graduating high school in 2012. Can I sue for this, my daughter is all I have I don't have my parents help like that. Not having a Jon to pay for food & rent is killing me.

ILL BE ON THE STREETS DUE TO AN OFFICER JUST ASSUMING & not doing his job. PLZ HELP
