What is the name of your state? [email protected] Tennessee
I was convicted of a felony. It was for theft of property over $500.00. I had an attorney when the case began, but I was later laid off from work and could no longer afford to keep the attorney. I was told by the judge that I would not be given a public defendent unless I was in jail. I had no car I had use public transportation to get to court and I was often 2 to 5 minutes late. I was sent to jail three times for being late even my name had not been called in court, and released on bail twice. The third time I was late I was told I would have to stay in jail until the trail (6 months) or I could plead guilty and go home. I have 2 degrees and plenty of extra college credits. I can't get a good job because of the conviction and I would have plead guilty to anything to keep out of jail. Is there anything I can to get this conviction overturned.
