A: you need to speak with your attorney. i cant give you advice since you are represented. However, seems that a decision either to plead guilty to the facts as asserted by the Commonwealth or go to trial are the options, and you chose to plead guilty. you will have an opportunity at sentencing to present things to show you in a positive light. The only other option would be to request to withdraw your guilty plea and go to trial.
