I'm at my first court appearance right now

I'm here early. I am so ******* nervous, and my attorney said the DA will most likely pursue like every charge possible today. I took the day off work just in case I am a mess. I will update here when I am done.

Not good. I went into the courtroom and checked in. My attorney went into the room in between the courtroom and the hallway with the DA. The bailiff told me to wait outside for my attorney, and when I walked out, I heard the DA say, "This is more than an addiction."

I asked my attorney about it when he met me in the hallway, and he told me that he really wished I hadn't heard that. He said the prosecutor is very young. She is female. To summarize, he said she's pretty much a *****. He told me to keep doing what is right, and we prayed together. He reminded me that no one wants to lock up first time offenders usually.

The one good thing that came out of today is that I truly feel my attorney is the attorney for me. He does get it, and he does care.
