You need a lawyer. A lot of people are not happy with the way the p.d. handles their case. The problem is that you get what you pay for, the legal world is no different. The d.a. will absolutely give you no help. Their job is to secure a guilty verdict ande see you punished accordingly. That most certainly makes them the enemy, even if you did get some info. it would not be reliable as your agendas are different. Do not seek legal advice from the police or d.a. The motion he is talking about is probably a motion for discovery. He could turn this over to you w/out the motion, sounds like he is doing you no favors. Get a lawyer. You never mentioned if you planned on going to trial or taking a plea. In my state if a plea is most likely forthcoming than discovery is usually waived and the procedure moves ahead. The problem is that once you start filing motions whatever plea existed, exists no more. It's for things like this you need a lawyer, even if inly to ask questions. Maybe you were mistaken during your original assesment as t whether or not you needed counsel. Maybe you can try to see if you can re-visit the attorney issue. Regardless, even if you retained counsel, you pay them by the case or the hour. You pay 1 time for 1 case. Try and explain you made a mistake and have no income and realized you do need help. You simply don't have the knowledge or experience to go it alone. It's about damage control at this point. goodluck.
