I want to bring it to the prosecutors attention but if I bring it up before the next hearing or the trial it could cause the man accusing me to be able to find some excuse, which he is very good at. I know if I could get the cell records from that day it would show that he created some messages himself.
Also this is a criminal mischief case where I am accusing of keying his car which actually belong to GM at the time. The state is the ony against me but somehow this man, who I had an affair with by the way, is able to bring evidence from some alledged text messages from November. I dont understand why the evidence is coming from him especially since there has been contact between him and me and my husband in discussing resolving other issues since we all live in the same neighborhood. If he knew that there was a pending case against me he could have said things to try to make it look like I did it. I just thought since it was General Motors car they should supply evidence.

I did have a lawyer and I had to fire her yesterday as she was acting like a prosecutor instead of a defense lawyer. She did not want to listen. I know I can prove this.

I do have something that can prove it. I just need to be able to also obtain his records from the day he sent them to himself which was 02/11/07 and he claims that were from me on 11/15/06. I want to bring them to the attention of someone but not him to give him any advantage. I got rid of my lawyer before I even got a chance to present these to her. She had basically convicted me and did not seem to want to fight this.
By the way no I did not key the car and I did not send messages, so yes I will defend myself against this man. The problem with this case is that it is a man works for General Motors, is on thin ice because of this and he will do anything to try to get me in trouble for this because he may lose his job. That is his motive as his company knew about the affair as he sold my husband a car during the time of the affair and he gave him a discount on it which we believe but of course would not alledge was done because of the affair. We made GM aware of that.

The amount of the damage on the car was 1200 dollars which I believe was high. I cant even believe that the state would pursue this when there were no witnesses just him accusing me. Is it because General Motors is involved? GM is a big company. They should be more concerned about the activities of their employees and the ethics. This man should not be representing their company but that is just my opinion.
Besides remember I am the defendent here and he is the victim.

The fact that you are asking for advice on such a serious matter on yahoo answers, is probably why you are in this predicament in the first place. The people on this are wackos, don't follow their advice on a criminal matter. Get a lawyer.

I am not really sure what the question is here but have to agree with the above posters, you need to get a new lawyer if you have fired the old one.
I don't know under what concept of law you think that the man's text messages might not be relevant in the case as they absolutely are if he was the one driving/in possession of the car at the time the car was keyed and any legitimate e-mails or text message are also admissible in Court if they support circumstantial evidence as to your state of mind and possible motives for damaging the car he was driving (ending our outing the affair?) regarldess of who actually owned it.
If you can prove by your records that he falsified any of the e-mails or texts that he presents in Court, a good lawyer would likely to be able to get all e-mails and texts stricken from the record and possibly his entire testimony, but again, you need a good lawyer to accomplish this.
If you did key the car, it might be in your best interests to make arrangements through your new attorney to see if the DA will accept a Nolo Contende agreement whereby you agree to pay damages for the car, but not admit to guilt or just have the charges dismissed in exchange for paying just so you can move on with your life as it will likely cost less and be less of a drain on you and your family than a lengthy drawn out litigation.
If you did not key the car and want to fight it your new attorney should work with a private investigator to come up with other people that may have had motive to key the car and then blame it on you (your ex lover of his wife, perhaps?) to demonstrate reasonable doubt. This could get ugly as what was once your private life will now become public record and fodder.
