A: This is a very confusing story, but entirely serious. You should stop posting any questions online and consult a criminal attorney in your area immediately.
A:
Stop talking about this. Everything you say can be used against you. Consult with a criminal defense attorney. If you can't afford one, don't talk to the police if they come for you, at all. Surrender peacefully and immediately.
Just ask for an attorney and a public defender will be appointed for you.

A:
MUCH MORE INFO NEEDED.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE DISCUSSING THIS ON AN OPEN FORUM WHERE EVERYTHING YOU ARE SAYING/ADMITTING CAN BE USED AGAINST YOU IN TRIAL.
HIRE A CRIMINAL LAWYER OR REQUEST A PUBLIC DEFENDER.
HOWEVER, IT SURE SOUNDS REASONABLE IF SOMEONE IF TRYING TO PREVENT A THEFT THAT THEY GET INTO A SCUFFLE AND YOU GET HURT. YOU WERE THE ONE IN THE WRONG
