Could i argue stupidity and porn addixtion
While it's not likely that arguing "stupidity" or "porn addiction" would absolve you of legal responsibility, it could potentially affect sentencing. Remember:
*. Legal defenses depend on the specific facts of your case.
*. You should discuss these options with your attorney.
*. Never make any arguments or statements without your attorney present.
I have to call back tommorow what should i say?

How does the right to an atgerny work
In the United States, the right to an attorney is guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution. Here is how it generally works:
- You have the right to have an attorney present during interrogations and during court proceedings.
- If you cannot afford one, the court will appoint a public defender for you.
- You can remain silent until you have consulted your attorney.
Do i just avoid the call outright
Whether to avoid the call is your decision. However, it's usually best to consult with a lawyer before engaging in any conversation with law enforcement. If you do answer, remember you have the right to remain silent until you've spoken with your attorney.
It simply says please call, do i need to? No one knows about this in my family
You don't necessarily have to return the call. It might be wise to consult with a legal professional first to better understand the situation. This way, you can make an informed decision.
