The pre-trial didn't go well, they offered me no plea bargain. instead of a plea bargain I was told there keeping the assult charge and now there is restitution.
I told the Public Defender about what happened, she said I have a good self-defence case. She recommended trial by jury, but offered both judge trial and jury trial.
I didn't think I had a self defence case, but the fact I told them I just wanted my tools and I wanted to leave, and they surrounded me in a threatening manner, that i did have a self defence case.
This new Public Defender seems good, alot better than our old one. To make sure shes does a good job, anything I need to know?
She said after the pre jury trial we would get together and get a stratagy together for my defence. I have only heard of that with a paid lawyer, our old public defender bairly ever lifted a finger for anyone. So i am uneasy about this one even though she seems good.
Even though I got a public defender, i have been researching trial by jury, and researching trial by jury if i didnt have anyone defending me except for myself. I have been prepairing questions to offer my public defender, sad thing i have no witnesses, so other than my word, its his friends that my defence holds up, only if they are truthful. If there not truthful most likely there storys wont match up.
im in a pickle jar guys, help me out here ^^
