Default Extortioned

If one is fired for theft and pays restitution and has verbal agreement from boss to not take issue any further, but then over a year later he calls back saying there is money unaccounted for and "thinks" you took it but has no proof other than the proof that theft was being committed previously (video footage). Can he legally come back to you and request more restitution when restitution was already given and a verbal agreement was made to not proceed with the matter?

That's REALLY the kind of thing that one needs to get IN WRITING. Was there a restitution agreement in place, and did that agreement specify that the agreed upon amount would completely settle the matter between parties? If not, then you could still be open to further requests. Whether you choose to honor those requests or to ignore them, is up to you.

Then you can always tell him to try to prove his case in civil court, or to file a criminal complaint and see if police and the DA can make a criminal case out of it, or both.

Sure, he can ask. You can say "I consider the matter closed". The ball is then in his court to further pursue the matter in the civil and/or criminal courts.

Have you browsed through the information in LawInfo's Free Legal Resource Center to learn more about your issue yet? See: http://www.lawinfo.com/consumer.html and http://resources.lawinfo.com/en/index.html. You can certainly try to speak to a lawyer to determine what legal options may be available. In the meantime, you may be able to learn more on your own. Search the "Free Legal Resources" tab, or browse the Consumer Resources. Good luck.
