I AM GOING TO TRAIL FOR THIS CHARGE AND I'M REPRESENTING MYSELF BECAUSE I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS CASE. A FRIEND OF MY WAS ACTUALLY INVOLVED AND PLEADED GULITY TO ALL CHARGES. I WILL BRING HIM AS A WITNESS THAT I WAS NOT INVOLVED. FOR SOME REASON THE COURT HAS NO RECULECTION OF THIS AND ARE CONTINUING THE CASE TO TRAIL. CAN THEY PUT ME ON TRAIL IF THE OTHER PERSON DOESN'T WANT TO PROCEED WITH THIS CASE OR EVEN NOT SHOW UP?

Yes. Representing yourself is STUPID. The state must appoint a lawyer for you if you can't afford one. If you can afford one, at least pay for a brief consultation. If they are charging you in error, a lawyer can often call the DA and quickly get him to drop charges. A lawyer can also get the state afraid of being sued for false arrest -- but if you did it yourself, they'd laugh. Also, the fact that your friend pled guilty doesn't mean you are not. And you should get him subpoenead to be sure he shows up.
