What is the name of your state? GA. But I live in WV. 
I am a WV female residence and have a driver's license here. This is my first time for a DUI. I was in GA in December & drove 1/2 to 1-mile & knew to parked my truck & turned it off with my 14 year child with me. The police pulled up by me and asked me to do field test, I did. Then a breathe test. They handcuffed me and searched my truck and impounded it. I was accused of hitting a 40x20 fence that I was parked by and DUI. My registration of my vehicle, insurance papers & money were taken during this time. While in jail, officer F... hit my head 3 x in the brickwall and poked me a few times in my stomach and arms. I was made to undress via two women officers & peppered sprayed in my face by them. February is my arraignment date to plead not guilty/guilty. Have to come back for this hearing, 452 miles and 7 hours. I am a single mom, no funds and needs my WV lis to work-can I appeal/write judge for mercy?
My dad will probably be taking me down and wondering also if my best interest would be to plead, not guilty? I believe this would be best, I dunno. Also, I spent 14 hours in jail that night, wondering if via pleading not guilty I will have to spend anymore time in jail down there because I wont be assigned an attorney until I plead not guilty and I certainly dont want to invest anymore time (and I dont have the funds) into this huge mistake that has cost me such severe penalties already. All help would be appreciated, thanks so much for this site.
