Re: Mistake age

You need to talk to your lawyer. If you don't have a criminal defense lawyer, you need to get one as soon as possible. If you cannot afford one, call the County Public Defender's office and schedule an "intake appointment." If you can afford a lawyer, hire someone with real criminal defense experience, NOT someone who just claims to be an ex-DA.

Good luck.
