A: Many ways, or few, it depends on the facts, like your and the other vehicle’s location at the time of the incident, witnesses, fingerprint evidence, etc.

A: Sounds like you might need to go to trial, seeking acquittal. If the state is unwilling to dismiss or otherwise dispose of the charges, and based on what you have said there is no reason to believe this is going to happen, an acquittal would be the only way to clear your name. A seasoned criminal defense attorney can prove invaluable in trial. If you cannot afford private counsel, seek the services of the public defender.
