ive been charged with theft of a semi trailer in phx az my codefendant in this case has had his charges dismissed i wasnt even in the truck when we got arrested & didnt even know that the trailer was stolen. my codendant was the driver as well as the owner of the truck. i have been appointed a public defender who when asked if he would find out why his charges were dropped says "they wont tell him" & that is all he says. i was told that they probably made a deal with the codefendant to let him go. i have no record & the plea offered to me was from a class 3 to a class 6 designated felony. if he said it was me shouldnt that be in the discovery? also i have asked for the discovery and recieved only the police report & inditement no other evidence. i am not sure what to do i dont have alot of $ for an atty & dont know anything about the legal system or how to go about clearing myself . is codefendants word creditable? how can i get a pro bono atty. thx for your time & any good advice.
