Aww, but food for your kids waaaah, oh and you're paying the money back? Ohhh, and you've never been in twubble before- you mean you've never been caught before. You think you should only pay back the money the times you've been caught, huh?
Da kiddy widdies, don't have kids if you can't afford them, I hope they throw the book at you.
$400, my, but you were quite generous with a stranger's money! You call that food for the kids?

You should have gotten an attorney as soon as you received notification that you were being charged with something. In most cases the judge will allow a postponement at the first court date, so that you can get an attorney. If they do not allow it, then you may request a trial by jury. If they so choose they will reschedule another court date, although I have seen them put off until the afternoon docket that same day.
When you first get into the court room on your trial date, and you still haven't gotten an attorney, during the check in process you should explain to the states attorney that you would like to postpone so that you can get an attorney.

Your first court appearance is called an "arraignment" which is where the judge will advise you of the charges against you. Because it's a felony offense, he will also want to know if you are represented by an attorney. If you do NOT have an attorney the judge will ask you if you are capable of obtaining one or not! If you are NOT able to afford an attorney...during this first appearance, the judge will provide you with one who is qualified to handle your issue!
Best wishes!

Oh yeah you need an attorney and a good one too. I had to go to court on a felony first I was in trouble myself and the first court date she asked me to plead guilty or not guilty. I did not have a lawyer yet so she asked me to get one as soon as I could or have one apponted to me by the court of law but she said she wanted me to get my own lawyer that thats better if u do it that way. Good luck
