My question involves criminal law for the state of: CALIFORNIA
One recent mourning I was severely intoxicated after partying all night. I wanted to get another drink so I headed on foot to a local liquor store. On the way there a hooker approached me and invited to come along and party at her place. I was really out of it but I followed her to her place anyways. After little flirting she reached into my back pocket and pulled out my wallet. I confronted her and told her to give back my stuff. After that she grabbed bear mace and sprayed me all over. Then a man came in from a side door with a knife swinging. I was burning and hurting and backed into a corner. Somehow I've managed to notice a laptop by where I was. I've grabbed that object and started swinging protecting me from knife attack. I've sustained several minor cuts on my wrist and my palm, as well as several bruises on my forearm from defending myself. I've also managed to hit the guy on the head few times with laptop while defending myself. After, I somehow managed to get to the outside door. When I came outside, cops were there and arrested me for AWD. What do I do? Do I have the chance to beat this? I told em the story but they still took me in. Why? They never took pictures of any of my injuries and treated me like crap. I have several felonies in the past for which I'm presently on a formal probation. None of my prior arrests or felony charges have ever involved any kind of assault or battery or any sort of violence for that matter, as I'm not a violent individual. I am a victim in this case, not a perp., so why do I get treated in this manner. Any advise will be greately appreciated. Thank you.
