A: No attorney can answer this question without first examining the state's evidence, talking to you, and talking to the prosecutor. If you don't have an attorney then you should hire one, or ask your family for help hiring one, or at least ask the court to appoint one.

A: Not until you discuss this matter in depth with your lawyer. If you can't afford to hire a lawyer, ask the court to appoint you one.
