situation: so-called friend asked to cash check for him because he did not have a checking account, said he's been working there for awhile and that everything is good to go, had check in my name, now I'm charged with a felony charge.. I did not know he was setting me up and did not know he was using me. I had no knowledge of what he was trying to do at all. I cannot believe how incredibly naive I was. he kept reassuring me that check was "real," but was not valid at all.
what should I do? I have a Public Defender representing me and cannot afford a real lawyer. i am a full time student and have never done anything wrong before my entire life.
