Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

There is nobody here that can predict what your outcome might be. It will depend on how you're charged, the facts (what the jury hears) and what they can prove (if anything) against you.

Sounds like your case is headed to trial. You need a real trial attorney in your corner.

No attorney can predict the outcome, nor even give an intelligent opinion, without reviewing and knowing all the charges, evidence, reports, testimony, priors history, etc. However, effective plea-bargaining, using whatever legal defenses, facts and sympathies there may be, could possibly keep you out of jail, or at least dramatically reduce it, depending upon all the facts. Not exactly a do it yourself project in court for someone who does not know how to effectively represent himself against a professional prosecutor intending to convict. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does, who will try to get a dismissal, diversion, reduction or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial. If serious about hiring counsel to help you in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help use whatever defenses there may be.
