Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Unlawfully placing signs on public property

I have been charged with unlawfully placing signs on public property (California Penal Code 556 and Los Angeles municipal codes 28.04[a] and 67.02). I am a performer who performed at the event the signs were promoting, however I did not put up said signs. Section 556.4 of the California Penal Code states that they can use the name, address, etc. of an event sponsor or promoter as evidence, but makes no mention of a performer. Do I have any legal recourse in this matter? Thank you in advance.

Sure, you have the facts as a defense if you can prove them. Feel free to contact me if you want legal counsel in this, to defend you, and to try to get the event to pay for the defense.
