Legal Question in Criminal Law in Oklahoma

I got into a confrontation with a minor, because of his inattentive driving. It resulted in me following him to his school...where I then confronted the minor again as he got out of his car. The confrontation did come to blows from both the minor and myself. I removed his backpack and left the scene. In the meantime, the authorities were called and I was ultimately arrested on felony theft.

On the advice of my attorney, I've waived my preliminary hearing and my right to a trial by jury. I've pled not guilty and the disposition of my case is scheduled for roughly a month from now before a district court judge. I was advised this is an 85% crime. What does that mean? I just feel that I'm on a long ride that I have no control over. My case has been moved back month after month, with the original offense ocurred this past February. All of this happened because the minor cut me off in traffic, nearly causing a collision.

I am a little confused why you are posting questions here when you have an attorney. You should be asking him these questions.

If you were arrested for felony theft that is NOT and 85% crime. So you need to ask your attorney why you are being told you are charged with an 85% crime.

If your attorney is not communicating with you and will not answer your questions, you need to fire him and hire a new attorney.
