What should I do about court case, Trial or probation?
Ok, I have a assault case that is set for trial next tuesday and I need everyones advice. Here is the situation. about 2 yrs ago me and my ex girlfriend got into a argument and I restrained her on a chair, didnt hit her or anything, and she told her dad I hit her and they filed charges. Anyway they apparently have a statement that I made saying I hit her but I never ever remember filing a statement. Anyway the court wants to give me probation but I want to take it to trial because I have alot of friends that are going to be witnesses because they new how crazy this bitch was and how are relationship was. this girl did alot of shit to me which caused me to do this to her. I am in self defense. Still though do you think I should take probation or still take it to trial?

I have no idea what is going on with the other case, my lawyer called me on friday saying he calls the sheriffs dept. each week and there are no warrants yet. The only reason I dont want probation is cause I just got off probation from another incident with the same girl, paid over $1000 in fines, 100 hours of community service, drug tests all the time, is was hell. Now I dont want it again. I have no money for it.
I will talk to my lawyer and see what he can do, as for now they want to give me 1 yr. probation, 80 hours of community service, $500 fine, that is bullshit. I will take probation if there is no community service or fines. besides I have been going to court for this since 2002 and I could have gotten probation already, but the damn courts are gay.
I just talked to my lawyer and he said that this case wont be hard to try and if I am found guilty, most likely I wont see jail time, just probation, but it will go on my record whic does suck but I have a chance to get it dismissed. And I have alot of witnesses with this so I am going to take it to trial.
God damn dude, didnt anyone ever tell you to stay out of trouble?
I read that thread a long time ago about you screwing around with a little teenager, come on, more common sense than that. Live and learn I guess, dont fuck around so much.
I know now I am an adult, alot of this is from along time ago except the recent case, and I know some of you know what I am talking about. I am trying to do better.
