Is there a way I can talk to the prosecuting attorney myself about my case and send it back and work out some kind of agreement
Hello ****, you have the right to speak with the prosecutor. However, it's often recommended to have legal representation doing so. It's important to note that the prosecutor's role is to represent the state, not you. Can I confirm if you're located in the US?

Hello ****,
In Kentucky, you have the right to speak with the prosecutor about your case. However, it's often recommended to have a lawyer present. Here are a few considerations:
- Prosecutors represent the state's interests.
- They may not freely disclose helpful information.
- Misunderstanding legal terms could lead to unfavorable outcomes.
Consider seeking legal counsel to help in this matter.
I have tried and my lawyer wants me to pla guilty to it
Hello ****, if you're not comfortable with your lawyer's advice, you have the right to seek a second opinion. Just remember:
- Guilty pleas have immediate consequences.
- You can change lawyers if you feel yours isn't representing your interests.
- Self-representation is an option, but it comes with risks.
Remember, it's your decision.
My lawyer is a public defender he wouldn't give me his phone number until the day and it's been over a year since this case has been going on and I go to trial March 20th for a jury trial
Hello ****, it's unfortunate to hear about your situation. If you feel your public defender is not adequately representing you, you may file a complaint with the public defender's office in Kentucky. However, please consider the time constraint on your trial date.
So what is your recommendations for me what should I do please help
Based on your situation, here are my suggestions:
- Seek a private attorney's consultation if possible.
- Consider filing a complaint against your public defender.
- Review your case thoroughly and prepare for the trial.
- Always remember, it's your right to decide how to proceed.
