What is the name of your state? Washington
I'm currently awaiting my arraignment on October 8th, monday morning at 9am. I haven't scheduled a public defender yet, I wish I could but I've got my reasons, I'd rather not go into them. The charge is second degree identity theft. I turned myself in on the case when it was opened, gave the stuff I'd bought with a stolen credit card back to the police (what I had left), and wasn't booked or anything. This was about 4 months ago, I received my paper for arraignment in the mail, and it's for October 8th. My question is, if I plead not guilty at the arraignment, though I do feel guilty and almost want too, will they set my court date at a later time and let me go free? I've only had one failure to appear, and I only have one count of Theft 3 on my record. I honestly don't know what I should plea, I'm so scared, is there anyone who could give me some advie? Please! If I go to jail with bail set on Monday, I'll lose my newly aquired perfect job and my place of living!
