Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Seeing the evidence depends on what your next court date is (the type...arraignment?) and how aggressive your counsel acts. You have a prior, the DA may or may not offer you a deal. By the way, if it is the DA prosecuting and not the CA, then you are looking at a harder sentence, so I strongly suggest you retain counsel or have the court appoint counsel for you ASAP.

Of course you can roll the dice with going to trial, you may be aquitted, you may be found guilty. You may get a longer sentence then if you tak a deal, you may not. It is really impossible to predict theoutcome of a trial.

Just protect yourself and retain counsel; public or private.

I agree with the other attorney. Get in to see a qualified attorney asap. I've been a Deputy District Attorney and now a criminal law specialist for a total of about 25 years. I would be happy to give you a free phone consultation if you so desire to fully go over the facts. Best of luck...David Wallin

The defendant or his attorney have a right to get the full evidence package at the arraignment or shortly thereafter. Negotiating a plea is done at a pre-trial hearing the court will set after the arraignment. If you refuse a plea bargain and then are convicted at trial, you will be sentenced to the full term of jail/prison time provided in the code. If you don't know how this system works, you shouldn't be representing yourself. Hire an attorney that does. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing so. If you can't afford private counsel, apply for the public defender.
