Yet another reason to not get involved. Had this happen to me once and when I tried to help she started hitting me with her purse for hitting her boyfriend.

You have trial in 2 weeks and you don't know the maximum sentence ????!!!!???
BAD, bad lawyering by your atty !

Your atty should have advised you of

1. Any offer from the Prosecutor (I'm sure there was one - if your atty asked ) [it is MANDTORY that your atty relay any offer to you and explain the consequences and risks of trial].

2. The maximum penalty you could receive (as well as the minimun if found guilty)

WTF is wrong with your attorney ?????

Contact this atty ASAP !
Get the answer from him/her !

Shame on your atty !
