What is the name of your state? NeVada

I was at my friend's house and I fell asleep but my 2 buddies weren't and apperantly they tried to break into a BMW. They failed and came back and woke me up, explained what they did. I think someone called the cops because they were looking for "several hooded young men". We're all sixteen and later that night we decided to go get breakfast and the cops stopped us. I told them everything I could based on what my co-friends told me. And now I'm being charged with the attempted breaking into! What should I go? Please-- real answers only.

Real answer... get a good attorney.

Can anyone provide a better answer? I know I need an attorney to get anywhere.

I have more questions:
The cops said my being there was why I'm in trouble; is there any way to argue that?
Is there any way to drop/lower charges?
Because this is my first time; what would the charge most likely be?

Um, if you know you need an attorney, then get one. Sitting down with a legal professional will yield you better results than anybody on an online forum, whatever credentials they may have, can ever provide. So, no, nobody can provide a better answer; get a friggin' attorney.

I would if I could afford one.
I just came here looking for possible answers to my questions.
Please just answer them.

Oh, wow, dude!!
Didn't know you were so serious about this.

Here is what you want to hear:
You have nothing to worry about. Just go into the court and explain the facts as you have here. The court will let you go without any problem.
Feel better??

Jake, apparently the cops don't buy your "I was asleep story" ... yeah, they hear that a lot. It's also possible your pals dimed you off as being there, or the same witness(es) that saw your pals also saw you ... maybe they saw THREE people and not just two.

In any event, you face some serious charges and there is little that anyone here can say about the matter as we have no idea what the prosecution has for a case against you.
