I have been charged w/domestic assault, based on a law enforcement officer's inaccurately identifying me as the "primary aggressor." I'm seriously considering defending myself in court. I do not want to have to pay an attorney, because I didn't do anything! Questions: What can an attorney do for me that I can't do myself? If I declare that I'm defending myself, can I contact the prosecutor and get the file on my case? Can I ask the prosecutor to reduce the charge? Are there any online resources to help me in representing myself?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
