Zoning Violation - Innocent

Long story short. I have been charged for a second time w/ a zoning violation. (use) First time I was guilty, pled NG, represented myself...failed miserably and was found guilty. Appealed w/ an attorney and the judge upheld the guilty verdict. Judge ordered me "to become in compliance" and fined me. Began e-mail correspondence w/ Zoning Inspector almost immediately to see what I needed to do to become compliant. Zoning Inspector refused to answer questions or be cooperative. Despite her lack of cooperation, I relocated the business. 23 days after my initial e-mail to her and about a dozen e-mails from me to her later, she filed charges on me again. Unbeknownst to her, the business was in the process and had been moved.

I don't know what to do. I do not have the money to get an attorney to represent me if I plead NG. I'm not guilty as I have an affidavit from the property owner that the business has moved to stating the date I moved it there. If I plead No Contest, I understand that it is an admission to the truth of facts when in fact the facts would be incorrect......I feel like this woman has trapped me.

Is it possible to plead NC and give the Judge the affidavit at the arraignment?....would he then find me Not Guilty?

Or do I have to plead Not Guilty and is there a way to get the Prosecutor to drop the charges w/o me hiring an attorney or having to have a trial? I don't think I can go through what I did before....I truley failed...it was so hard.

What do I do?

The prosecutor may drop charges if they can learn of the compliance. WLD can help--send a note to them at info@worldlawdirect.com
