Misdemenor Theft by check

6 yr ago 2 friends of mine wrote checks on my account. I knew about 1 or 2 of them and thought taken care of them. a couple of months later I was arrested for misdemenor theft by check. I signed forgery affidavits and took hand writng analysis to prove that i did not write the checks. i did not tell the DA or the police that i had any idea of who had written the checks. Earlier this month while out of town I was again arrested for multiple theft by check charges. apparently the police department did an investigation and found 2 or 3 local merchants that stated I was present at the time the checks were written and that I gave permission to write the checks. Now the DAs office is telling me that I have to pay restituion for these checks and that it would not benefit me to hire an attorney. they stated that the cases would be combined into a fellony and i would also be charged with fraud because i knew who wrote the checks. and yes i did know after the fact that she had written ''some'' checks. she did not tell me about all the checks. She went to prison for other charges. I have spent 4 years in nursing school and am about to graduate. this will keep me from getting my RN license. The DA filed no charges on the other person. pls help
