What is the name of your state?Calif.
IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW.....WOULDN'T BE HERE.
THis is on a criminal case. Courts have listed it as 2 strikes but it's only one strike.....I told my attorney from the start there was enough evidence to show I'm innocent. The attorney has failed to provide adquate council. Turns out he is not a criminal defense attorney, he has just had a couple of criminal cases. Other than briefly reviewing the case he has done nothing. He never even got my whole side of the story. So here I am less than 24 hours before I have to deceide to take a plea or go to jury ON THE 12TH and take a chance of going to prision the rest of my life. The attorney had even told me when I hired him that there was no reason why it wouldn't get dismissed, just with the few facts I told him.....I have a call in to the top criminal defense attorney in town, but he is booked solid......they are trying to get me in, because of whats happened......WHAT CAN I DO.....? .....WHY WOULD AN ATTORNEY EVEN HAVE YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A PRILIM, KNOWING IT WOULD LOCK U INTO TAKING A PLEA OR GOING TO JURY, WHEN IT'S LISTED AS 3 STRIKE? I COULD SEE IF MAYBE YOU WHERE A MURDERER AND DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE DEFENSE HEADS UP ON WHATS GOING ON. THIS IS REALLY MESSED UP.
THANK YOU
