No. 4 and 5 in particular.

Accept complete responsibility w/out any excuses, accept whatever the judge decides.

IMO the OP should speak as LITTLE as possible to the judge (very brief answers, no more than a sentence or two at most) because if he does he's going to find himself in a whole lot more trouble based upon what he's written in this thread.

Also, is there a way to ask for a rehab program of any kind (don't know if that's an option)?


As an aside, about 9 years ago we took in a homeless 19 yr. old boy who needed another chance. He had every excuse in the book for pretty much every wrong choice he ever made. Bottom line is he didn't ever understand that he had CHOICES and that only HE could make. The only truly bad luck he had was an alcoholic mother and no father around. We tried our best w/him but he eventually had to leave. He's in a MI state prison to this day. :(
