You claim the police are treating you like a criminal. Unfortunately you are, you pleaded guilty to a felony, you did not tell the truth to your attorney.. You covered up for husband, you did not tell the truth and now you want a redo...

You need to consult a different attorney. You may be able to withdraw your plea if you did not understand it... But understand that is very, bery difficult... We don't know what you are convicted of but I suppose there is evidence and even if you are sucessful in a withdraw you just start over...and even though you want the truth out, even if you get it out there, you may still be convicted...

If you want out of your marriage hire an divorce attorney...sorry for your predicament... Good luck
