What do I do if I accidentally sold alcohol to a minor?

Stings are common and okay with the courts. He needs a lawyer. You cannot be his translator, the court has certified interpreters. Lucky could terminate him or impose other punishment for this incident. The ABC can suspend or revoke their liquor license for this lapse. It is a serious problem and he should not go into court alone.

If I represent myself on a petty theft charge is it possible to change my plea if necessary?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
A guilty plea ends the case. A not guilty plea stands unless and until you change it to guilty. Generally done only as part of a plea bargain. If you can't afford private counsel, apply for the public defender next time you are at court. They don't have time to hold your hand and chat. That is what you pay a private attorney to do. The PD probably has 20+ case on calendar every day.
