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.

I’ve never heard of a crime beyond murder, arson and sexual assault that has a statute of limitations that long.

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.

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.
