My question involves criminal law for the state of:
I had a criminal neighbor (with an extensive record) that's been harassing us (since last year) come onto our property after ALREADY being told to leave 3X that same day, and have the audacity to actually walk down our private gravel drive onto the back part of our property. My wife and I saw him through our back window. I quickly went down and stopped him, confronted him and by that time I was furious, and he knew it. He falsely accused us of "killing his dog" which never happened, (dog went back to his house later from his wandering around killing pets in the area such as our poultry.) The criminal reached for his gun and said "I kill you" over and over when I told him to LEAVE asap. He flatly refused. I had been hacking bushes down there and picked up a machete that was still there and told him if he tried to pull that gun out, I would hack it out of his hand in my self defense. He still refused to just turn around and walk away, but only slowly backed up the drive backwards spouting the entire time, " I kill you, f____ you" . After he was finally at the street and was going back to his house, he had got back and called 911 probably about the same time that I did. But of course, in this state since he's of a 'different' nationality, HE has full credibility and we (the decent, clean, no record, working-class) have ZERO credibility! The so-called "deputy" that showed up was automatically on the side of the criminal fully believing everything he said, even though he's already had a track record of lying in the past. "Deputy" refused to listen to either me or my wife and WE are the WITNESSES ! He actually went back to the criminals house and offered for HIM to be able to press charges against ME for forcing him OFF MY PROPERTY when he criminal trespassed threatening MY LIFE WITH A GUN! Can you believe it? He falsely stated that I had "attacked" him with the machete at my next door (right next door) neighbor's porch. I have a written statement from that neighbor denying this had ever happened! We also have the testimony of an officer that the criminal had lied to him over and over and over again constantly changing his story and actually trying to USE the dept. patrol persons as his "sic-dogs" on us! He gave us the names of several other deputies that ALSO have witnessed the criminal attempting to do that, and they do not like the guy, know he's extremely dangerous, and won't have anything to do with him because of it.
But of course, the good ol' typical communist prosecutor is trying to railroad me on BS charges of assault-4 when there's absolutely NO PROOF WHATSOEVER of the criminal liar's false accusations against me!! The gestapo actually had the nerve to tell us that WE had to "have it on camera" to prove what we were saying, but the criminal DOESN'T have to have ANYTHING on camera to prove his lies!! Umm, can we say discrimination?

What can I do? I've already gone to the first hearing, now I have a "pre-trial" and I've talked to numerous attorneys and even a judge that said they have no case, and that I should be able to get it dismissed, but that the prosecutor in question is extremely narcissistic and stubborn and refuses to admit when their gestapo punks screw up so they just railroad innocent people and go after them trumping up crap on them. I've even been told by attorneys in other counties that this county has the WORST reputation in the state, and that they are literally infamous for doing that crap to people. I can't afford an attorney and they have denied my right to be appointed one, by making some lame excuse that I "make too much"? WTF? Since when is there supposed to be a financial "limit" for people that need an appointed lawyer? Oh yeah, and according to their limit, I only make a lousy $200. more a month! I do NOT make enough to pay outrageous amounts to an attorney! Geeez, they all want $2000. to 5000.00 down!

Can someone please advise me with some law in black and white, and maybe some precedences?
