THANKS YOU IN ADVANCE

SORRY IF THERE ANY CONFUSIN IN MY STORY JUS LET ME KNO IM NOT GOOD WITH MY WRITING

You need an Attorney. You "might" be in same courtroom for intial court date but its not likely you will be tried (if it goes to trial) together

oh cuz on one of my court paper that i recieved it tell me the date n time and its said to bring my income to see if im qualify for the public defender so what should i do just wait till the court day or should i contact a DA?
