Need help, psyco girl manipulating system to keep me in relationship..

[Scared guy]

Well, the more I think about it, the more it looks like a scene right out of fatal attraction. My girlfriend plays mind games, and legal games now, to try to keep me in our relationship. I broke up the house trying to get her away from me, and she called cops to have me arrested, after I broke up with her.
Now I am going to court for DVmalicious mischief. My question is, the pretrial is this thursday, may 11th. I am thinking about just pleading no contest to get it over with and get away from her, even though she lied on the police reports, or, "remembers things differently" than I do, seems she made it sound like I was trying to hurt her when I wasn't. Anyways, I'm sure she knows I am trying to get away from her, and she will do anything to stop me, including telling the police that there was "more" that happened in our relationship than me breaking things one day that she never reported, she might even say I "raped" her or I "seduced" her or whatever. Would she be able to do that? If so, what would they do? If I'm in court already, will they tell me if there are new charges being filed? Will they lock me up if she says she is afraid I will hurt myself? I know she is mentally deranged now, I didn't know it then.. it kinda came out when I finally decided I was breaking up with her, that this new personality took over, I feel she will try to control this whole thing so I end up in jail. HELP!!!!! What can I do to prevent this? I know if she thinks I am trying to leave her, she will keep trying to keep me. Will the courts see this type of motive from her? Can I protect myself from it? I don't want to be with her, she needs help, but I don't want to sit in jail either!!

A no contest plea has the same effect as a guilty plea. My concern is that a plea won't help you, and make the next charges that much more believeable. And some of the potential charges could have you permanently labeld as a sexual offender, abuser, etc.

If you face criminal charges you have the right to be represented by a lawyer. If the charges are of a certian level of seriousness and you can not afford a lawyer, the court must appoint one for you. Don't do something stupid on your own -- you are out of your league. Get a pro to help you.

Well, right now, it's just DVmalicious mischief. Pretrial is tommorow, I'm afraid to go to trial for fear she will act out and say I did things I didn't do, she is a master of turning around the truth, but I also would like to tell them MY story of what happened so at least they can have the facts strait. Is that called a bench trial? and if so, is she going to be there for it? I just want the truth, she is basically accusing me of "going crazy" when it was her playing games, me getting frustrated, and her "going crazy" and calling the cops. Arrgh!
