Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

How do i have a fair hearing?

Can you tell me if it's possible to be charged with retail fraud1,receiving and comsuming,and receiving andconcealing for being with someone in a store who was seen stealing? Ihad no parts of the incident out of 8 witnesses all 8 said i did nothing but i was arrested with all 3 charges i had no idea what was going on until i went looking for the party that was stealing not knowing they were being watched by a good samarten whom said i did nothing and watched everything how are those charges against me possible? And my state appointed lawyer says if i take it to trail they'll still convict me guilty due to my race ,and nt having the money to hire a paid lawyer. How can i fight that in a legal way?
