There is an old saying that "A person who represents himself, has a fool for a client". You are facing very serious charges which can result in up to 1 year in jail. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options. If you cannot afford an attorney, then ask the judge to appoint a public defender to represent you. Under no circumstances should you be representing yourself.

Can I be charged with murder if my friend gets shot while we rob a house?

Answered by attorney Michael Thomas Lynch (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Michael T. Lynch
What you describe is the classic Felony Murder rule. An individual who, during the course of committing a felony, causes the death of another, can be charged with murder. This just came up in the state of OK. A mother, and recent widow, shot and killed a man, while that man and a friend of his tried to break into her home to steal pain medication. The other man was caught and charged with the murder of his co-conspirator friend. Breaking into a home to steal is a felony. If you and a friend agree to break into a home to steal, and while doing so your friend is killed, you run the risk of being charged with a murder charge. While some states will not count a co-conspirator as "another" most still do. I hope your question is purely hypothetical.

Do I need an attorney for a theft charge?

You should have a lawyer. Because it was under $50, it is a class C misdemeanor but it is a crime of moral turpitude so you want to get a deferred disposition if possible.
