Re: burglaqry

Pleading guilty without a lawyer was a big mistake. It is too late to try for a plea bargain, and there is no way to argue on appeal that the charge should be reduced. You are probably stuck.

It is possible -- though unlikely -- that the court made a procedural mistake when it took your plea. Such mistakes sometimes invalidate the plea. Other than that, I can't think of much to suggest.
