It never hurts to plead not guilty and have an attorney look at the case. Once you plead not guilty, the prosecutor will probably make a plea offer. If the prosecutor's evidence is spotty, you may be able to get off. If the prosecutor's case looks pretty solid, then perhaps you should take a plea offer. Either way, only an attorney can determine whether the evidence in the prosecutor's file was legally obtained (illegal search & seizure, failure to read Miranda rights, etc.). Any constitutional violation could result in evidence being "suppressed," which could lead a prosecutor to dismiss the case. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know.
