    Well, seen my lawyer and he said that there was reasonable suspicion. Even though it was not witnessed. I got the card in the mail to appear for my arraignment for today. Charge was retail fraud 3rd degree. Lawyer said we don't have a case because they had probable cause and to try and make a deal with prosecutor. Its the lowest misdemeanor on that charge. I do have a past record and hope to get a fine. Stood Mute, bond continued $100 cash. Will have Pre-Trial Conference and try and work something out by June 20th. Need to go to counseling also............

    Default A tadd confused here from your other advice ....

    So, whats the diffrence between the following pleas:

    No-Contest
    - Alford plea
    - nolo contendere

    Not guilty vs standing mute

    guilty plea upfront

    And when does one get a public defendent (attorney) when one has no income to afford an attorney? What does one do on their arraignment for the above without legal advice? Is there a way to avoid making any plea on the day your arraignment until such councel advice is provided, or can one have a public defendor offered the morning before your arraignment.

    I've read through soooo many posts here and am getting rather confused.

    -thanx
