Q: I have been charged with the 18.2-427 code but the girl was the one that called me and is harrassing me what can i do
A: Generally, if one has already been charged, the options are limitted to pleading guilty as charged (which is rarely a good idea), negotiating a plea bargain if possible, or going to trial. It is impossible to say which is the best route or the best way to pursue that route without more details. You should consider hiring an attorney or at least finding one willing to provide a free consultation, unless you have the opportunity otherwise for a court-appointed attorney.
A: To be clear, there may be a few ways to weaken the prosecution's case and potentially have it thrown out, but again, an attorney would have to review the facts.
