Shoplifting question?

So I shopping in walmart with my son. I was picking up things that I needed when I saw these shirts. I picked them up and put them in my Shopping cart. I generally do not buy clothes because I am the exact size as my mom so when I go to her house I Usually steal/borrow hers! Well after getting what I needed and filling my prescription I went looking through the store for my brother. He worked in the store and was there that day. I didn’t see him so I went through the line and paid for everything but the shirts. I walked around, went to the mcdonalds that was in the walmart and fed me and my son. After I went to get my prescription I saw my brother but he was past the alarms helping another customer. I went to go ask him if my mom had those shirt because he still lives with her. I new he would know if she had them. She always shops at walmart for clothes. Before I had a chance to even open my mouth to him the Lp people swarmed me. While I was in the room they kept grabbing my son and one point the grabbed him bc the door was opened and he tried to run out( he was 12 months old at the time). I was issued a citation by the police they wrote the police report. Later I got to read the police report and I saw they lied! They said I lifted up the cart to see if I could see the shirts under the cat litter bc apparently I was trying to hide them!! So not true! How the he’ll could I pick up a cart. I am 130 pounds and am 5’3! Tell me how I could pick up a shopping cart! Anyway I hired a lawyer and have a court date in January. They also lied on the police report saying I have been in the store and shoplifter before, they just didn’t catch me! That’s never happened!! I don’t know what to do and If I win I want to sue them!! What do other people think. I am not a thief and I am so sad that as much money as I have spent i have Walmart they would do this to me!!!
No I did not attempt to leave the store! I am not trying to cover it up and if they use resonable force against me that is one thing but not against a 12 month old! So thanks to the ones who actually gave good advice.
Oh and btw I did not leave the store
