Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

i got a ticket for posession of LESS than 1 ounce of marijuana that told me to go to court on a saterday but there was no court on saterday so i went in on the following monday, no court was in session so i talked to a man who looked me up on his computer. He told me that there was nothing in there saying that i had a ticket for posession of marijuana and that the officer must have thrown it away and was probably trying to scare me so i dont do it again, but a few weeks later i got pulled over for a cracked windshield and got arrested for failure to appear for my possion of LESS than 1 ounce of marijuana ticket the following day in court they said i had a failure to appear for a ticket for MORE than an ounce of marijuana i still have the ticket for proof of the day i was supposed to go to court and it also says less than 1 ounce so i plead not guilty was that the right choice and what should i do?

It's always the right choice to plead "not guilty." That way you get the chance to clear everything up without being convicted. Good luck.
