Plead not guilty at arraignment. Ask for a pre trial. Tell these facts to the prosecutor if you don't want to hire a lawyer. Be careful since any admitted knowledge or other admissions on your part will be held against you. Most of the time prosecutors are willing to drop charges against the innocent defendant once someone takes the hit for it.
