ask for a reset to hire an attorney. don't talk to the District Attorney. In a criminal case, the worst thing you can do is talk to ANYONE about the case without an attorney. Sounds like she has a good chance of getting the case dismissed if all you say is true, however, she is likely to be convicted without an attorney. This is true in all criminal cases. Even if the evidence is likely to result in conviction, she would get a much better plea offer with attorney representation.

good luck
