Dealing with Delinquents

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ca


I was a yard duty at a local middle school. One day I observed a boy knock a ball out of a girls hand. I went to the boy and talk him to knock it off and give back the ball. At which time he threw it aggressively at the girl. I told him do it again and he will be asked to leave. The second time he did it I went to remove him and take him to the office. At which point the student said I pushed him, he and another student began swearing at me and and telling me I couldn't touch them. All the while calling me every name in the book. I now have 3 years informal probation 100 hrs of community service and have to do an anger management class all due to the fact that my private lawyer was stone walled by the school districts ass super intended. My lawyer was never able to question anyone involved or any witnesses to the event that took place. The DA gave the deal above at which point I wanted to go to trial. My lawyer said she wasn't retained for trial and passed me to the public defenders office. I had two weeks to meet with my public defender. I called for two weeks strait until finally on the Friday before court on Monday (my first time meeting him), I got a call and he said that he would be out of town that coming Monday and his associate would ask for a countenance in my case.

Monday came and he was there. He took no time to read over my case and told me the DA is pushing this deal and he basically told me to take it and leave. I only got to talk to him for 5 min that day before court. He then walked away to go talk to someone else that he told basically the same thing to. He them came back to me said "OK whats the deal?". I then felt as though he was not willing the represent me in any type and felt as though I had to take the deal.


My question is? Is this OK? I feel I'm being railroaded by the DA and not given any kind of representation my my defense. I have never been in trouble before and have no idea how any of this works. All I know is this doesn't seem like due process or justice. Oh yea and it took the DA 11 months pretty much to the day to bring me to court. I now have court in the AM and I can't sleep all this BS running around in my head. The DA now has made me wait another two weeks while they "made sure the deal" (that they made) is ok with the "victims". Should've that been done already before the deal was offered?

I was also never read my rights by the officer that called me and MADE me pull over while driving my family in the car (he was made aware they were in the car). He treated me like I was guilty from the start.

Do I have any recourse here?
