You and/or your parents shoudl consult direclty with alegal counsel that can have access to the specific facts of yoru case. Many attorney offer a free or low cost initial consultation. If you cannot afford to hire competent counsel, you should ask the judge to assign one for you. You could spend the time from the day of court until you are eighteen years old in a juvenile detention center, or prison. Therefore, do not give any more statements to the police or talk about this cazse with anyone other than yoru lawyer and yoru parents, until you get legal advice specific to the facts of yoru case. It is good that you are seekign guidance her. But, your matter is so serious that you need advcie specific to the facts of your case.
