Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Carolina

You refusal to at least consider a plea is just stupid - it is a fact there are innocent people in jail who held that same attitude. So if you are facing the potential to go to jail, you should weigh the risk of being convicted, innocent or not, with any plea offer. As to your attorney situation - you get what you pay for but representing yourself would just be another incredibly stupid idea. Basically, the functional equivalent of you attempting to rebuild you car's transmission if you aren't a mechanic. So what you can do is either pony up the dough to motivate an attorney to put the effort you want in the case or you can continue to feel inappropriately entitled to and ungrateful for free help.
