A: I'm not sure what your question is. You have the right to make the prosecutor prove their story through a trial. And if you are awaiting a preliminary examination, you have a right to make the prosecutor show probable cause for these charges, which your attorney can then challenge.

Yours is not the first case where one person says one thing, and another person says another. And because you don't state what charges you face, it's impossible to tell if even that is a factor in the charging decision.
