Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Co-Defendants

By definition, having co-defendants means serious charges with serious punishment if convicted. If you are the defendant and asking these questions for yourself, it would appear you don't have an attorney to ask them of. That would be the height of foolhardiness, to represent yourself when you admit you know nothing about the process or system. If that is the case, any answer you might get here is essentially useless to you, since you wouldn't know what to do with it anyway. You can't waive a print out of the answer in the general direction of the court and expect anything to happen.

Yes, separate pleas are always the case. And yes, the court could impose no contact orders in some circumstances. If the jail is imposing them, a court order could change that.

Now, if you get serious about getting the legal help you'll need, feel free to contact me.
