Mr.Knowitall
Thank you for your response. The 'issue slip' just states that I have to appear in court, Im guessing then that it is for me to be arraigned? I spoke to an attorney to get some insight on what my course of action should be, he told me to plead not guilty as there are diversion programs. Will this require me to hire an attorney? Im not sure if I would be eligible for a public defendant. I don't want to plead guilty and fully give myself up to be convicted. Are there any suggestions on how to go about this?
