Legal Question
Please help
I need your help. I was arrested last year for one vicodin, which I had a prescription for. I was living in Indio, but was arrested in Buena Park, CA. I have no transportation of my own and was late to my court date. When I showed up, the Judge was very mean to me. To make this short, he didn't even want to see my perscription. He said if I plead ''not guilty'', I go to jail and wait for my court date, in MAYBE 3 wks. If I plead ''guilty'', he would give me drug deversion. I have never been in trouble in my life.I took the Diversion, and was going until I had to move back here from Indio. I was living with my Dad, so I could go back to school, it didn't work out. My Father is an alcoholic. My problem is I was afraid to go back & see this Judge again because I was afraid he would put me in jail. I now have a warrant. I feel that none of this has been fair to me that I had to plead ''guilty'' to something I had a prescription for in the first place. I realize I was late, but I did show up on my own. With this Judge treating me the way he did, I am really scared. I am not a criminal. With an attorney, can I change Judges, and start all over since I am back in town and can get there on time. This has all been so unfair. Please help!
