Make sure you get legal counsel (or at least the public defender) to try to negotiate this or even keep this off your record eventually--jail time is very possibly avoidable... Often this could be negotiated down to some kind of court supervision etc.

I don't mean to worry you, but at the same time you should face the facts. In 1986 I was charged with p-t-w-a-prior, and was sentenced to 18 mnths state prison. I served 10 mnths, and was put on Parole. Let me tell you, you do not want to be on Parole. So I hope that you are able to get county time if guilty, or no time if innocent. If you do end up on Parole, you'd be wise to fallow ALL the rules and regulations, this way you can discharge within a year to 18 mnths instead of three years.

Would be curious to know what happened? Or what is happening?
