The boyfriend left before the police came? All of these details you are adding CHANGE the story---and all are relevant and pertinent to shedding light on the events that happened. Each time you post, you add more details that change the story---do not do this with the public defender.

My point is---if you want to present your daughter in the best light, try to avoid presenting your case the way it was presented here. I would try to avoid the whole "lost and alone" scenario, and focus on the fact that she is a young girl and all that entails---the emotions, the heightened sense of self importance---a judge and a jury will be able to say "Wow, I remember when I was that age, and I broke up with my boyfriend or girlfriend, etc..." But the "lost and alone" scenario feels like making excuses, or being dramatic--when the truth is much more believable and people listening to that can identify with those emotions.

I suspect your child will be able to plea down her case to misdemeanor charges---and will get probation---unless they want to take a hard line against the "attack" on a cop---if not for that part, she would probably just get fined, community service, or something of the like. But, the cop part? I don't know. If you don't feel as though the public defender is representing you adequately, or the bargain she is offered isn't acceptable, hire an attorney---for that amount of money, you should be able to.

Also, the probable cause issue relating to being drunk? Even if she werent drunk, the fact that she was creating a disturbance gave them probable cause. And, some behavior is clearly and obviously related to alcohol--and if the boyfriend was questioned---he could state if they had been drinking.
Good luck.
