A: You need to speak with your criminal defense attorney about your best options. If I have a client who states they are innocent, I prepare the case for trial and try to gather the evidence to prove the client is innocent. If the client ultimately decides to take a plea deal instead of going to trial, that is ultimately up to the client but shouldn't be done without a full discussion with the criminal defense attorney as to what they don't want to take the case to trial when they state they are innocent.
