I have since then done PC1000 drug and alcohol counseling Domestic Violence classes and finished 2 years of Drug and alcohol in house recovery. I have been clean for 5 years now and the reason i fulfilled the above mentioned is cause i had openly admitted my drug use from a case in 2006 in mesa. THese incidents happened way before that and they still want me to plea guilty to felonies…..its a class three for possession of marijuana (some crumbs)according to their Report an Aggravated assault with a hammer (class 3) and posesion of dangerous narcotics for the rolling papers (class 6). i am not trying to use my christianity as a cop out but honestly believe that I can prove to be a person who has made a turn around. I cannot afford an attorney and am a inner-city missionary at a church in Los Angeles…i got to court Oct 3rd to see what plea they offer this time is cause i refused the last one. Any advise please help!!!!!!
get a public defender…or research the law for your crimes and be prepared before your court date. start cracking the books. you want to sound like you know what you are talking about and are aware of your rights, instead of going to court not knowing anything.
i am facing a 2 felonies and a misdemeanor in Az from 8 years ago. Can anyone recomend free help?

maybe the judge will be lenient because you have reformed already. the state will provide an attorney for you (it’s within your constitutional rights to have an attorney appointed to you if you can not afford one – google Miranda Rights). many judges take into consideration what you have done since the crime in question.

If you do not have a public defender, please request one. If your income is low enough you are probably eligible. There are few nonprofits that provide free legal assistance in criminal cases. However, you might start by calling Neighborhood Legal Services in LA (800-433-6251). They do not cover criminal cases, but they might be able to give you local resources for help. I would also suggest that you get letters of recommendation from supervisors, pastors, treatment center workers, etc. to show that you have made positive changes.
The fact that you may or may not have changed your life around does not negate the fact that you committed serious crimes. If you have to justify a statement with, "I’m not trying to use my christianity as a cop out, but…" then you are. You need to be a man and take the punishment that comes with the crimes you committed.
