    I don't think telling my parents would be a good idea.. Could a public defender possibly help me out in dismissing the charges?

    Maybe,the court might a diversion program,which you have a decent shot at getting. It's hard the best way is an out right dismal where no verdict of guilt is entered imo the best way to achieve that is a private lawyer,maybe see if you can get a pd and see what they say.

    When I was arrested, I was 18, and a week before that I was 17... :/

    I guess if a dismissal doesn't come about, then a pretrial would be a good option. Its only 6months for second degree, and its only like biweekly or once a month attendance.

    Help, can I expunge it still.

    If I complete a pretrial diversion program, and wait a year?

    Pre-trial diversion generally makes it all go away. I can't say how Florida does it, but the purpose of pre-trial is to "give the dog a free bite", so to speak. Successful completion of the diversion program generally gives the offender a fresh start with a sealed record.

    Yay I went to court today by myself without parents knowing. 30 minute drive, 80mph average speed, cut corners perfectly haha wearing my suit.

    Had to pretend I was going to the gym, and bring my suit and tie in my backpack haha. I snuck the GPS too, arrived exactly one minute before the court time. Everything went smooth and I was immediately offered pretrial diversion. Not to mention, there were loads of plasma tvs around the court haha everything was so nice and modern i expected less of a court for criminals, and only 13 people were in my court session + a hot blonde public defender, this went so smooth man.
