"Trying to prosecute"??

If that means they have charged you with a crime, you have a 'right' to hire an attorney to fight this. It sounds like the statute of limitations would have run out years ago, so I can't understand what they would be 'prosecuting'.

You need to consult with a local criminal defense attorney immediately, and take the standard legal advice to SHUT UP and do NOT talk to police or anyone about the case except with and through an attorney.

It appears you are in AZ, but if this is in SoCal courts, and if serious about hiring counsel to help in this, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help fight and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses there may be. I�ve been doing these cases for many years.
