Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Does your lawyer (presumably a public defender) seem decent? Have you been to court before? Do you know how you'll plea?
Of course any penalty won't be great, but misdemeanor criminal trespass doesn't seem terrible, and it's not like you're getting sentenced now. (IANAL).
In the rather unlikely event you end up sentenced to prison, consider joining the IWW's Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee, they do a lot of good work (and membership's free for prisoners).
Anyways, wishing you luck. 
This is just arraignment, and if they wanted to keep me they probably would not have ROR’d me, when they could’ve easily gotten my ass while I was already in jail last month, but who knows.
And I’m being charged with a class C misdemeanor, which has a maximum of 30 days in jail; the thing I was in the klink for last month had a max of a year.
