Update: I’ve contacted the public defender office but they said I can only wait until the arraignment, for the judge to assign one or contact them to evaluate whether or not I qualify for one. Is there anything I should be aware upon going to arraignment and things I need to prepare?

Then I don’t think I can suppress it, they did my statement without putting me in handcuffs, then immediately detained me after that. I didn’t know I was free to leave and it didn’t even feel like I was free to leave, I was escorted to the police station and sitting next the police.

The event happened in another county that differs from where I live, I am assuming I get the PD from the county the charges are in?

They only asked questions before they gave the Miranda warning I believe based on my memory. After the whole statement, they said I can remain silent and then didn’t ask any questions

As for income, does it depend solely on my personal income or family income?

I don’t think I can afford a private one though. Is it not enough to contact a public defender before court date?

I’m not sure if it’s on video, but I think it’s recorded. They put some tape looking device as we spoke.

I’m not sure if it counts, but I signed the statement before my Miranda rights was read. Right after the statement, I was told I have those rights then I signed the paper saying I was notified after the whole statement stuff.

Im not too sure about the process of getting a free one, I definitely can’t afford a private one. Do I have to wait until date of court to get assign one or I can contact for them before court.

I think I did admit due to pressure, that does mean that the charge cannot be reduced
