Can I change my plea in my cps case?

I let my lawyer talk me into pleading guilty to cps in court so I wouldn't risk losing kids forever as he said. Not that I want to but just like to know if I could just in case. My dad said I couldn't once I done that. I am already agreed to do the services put forth by cps.

I don't believe I can but just like to know anyways. I really wish I had a different lawyer. I put faith into him and not sure if he did good for me or just took me through the system to get paid.

I just felt I plead under a lot of pressure. I really wanted prosecution to prove their case. They just wanted to say a lot of bad things about me and me cave in is what I done. I wonder if my lawyer even was working for me. He asked why would kids say that? Maybe he was not on my side at all.

Would you plea if you felt you was innocent even at risk of losing your kids? This doesn't seem very fair to use the fear of losing parental rights to get them to win this way but I guess it is a form of action they do.

I am wrong. I thought cps would look bad for making up stuff but I never knew the system or how they would pressure me into agreeing to them.

So I will do their programs with all my will. I feel really terrible though never having my say on this accusations as nasty some of it was.

Update:

Yes I agree, I was too weak to resist. My lawyer didn't ask me too last moment so I didn't have time to think. It is a lot to endure at the last moment. I agree too I deserve it since I did not resist the temptation.

    Did you plead guilty? I am not sure you can change your plea. I would never plead guilty to something I did not do. You might can ask that your case be reheard and with a different lawyer. Did you pay for the lawyer or was it a freebie. If it was a freebie I doubt you can get another free one. If you paid for him then I would wonder why you went along with him. If you did not do what ever you pled guilty to then I would look into a different lawyer. Explain to him or her what is going on. But most likely the person you are up against (their lawyer) will ask questions like why you would say you did something you didn't. It also depends on what this something is. Are we talking abuse?

    If you have already pled guilty and agreed to the "services" CPS set forth then it's probably too late to do anything different now. And once the other parent who I guess won the case has rights also as well as the kids involved. So basically, your dad is right. I don't think you will be able to change anything.

    As your brother has pleaded to blame till now the courtroom on 22/05/2007, he could have been convicted on that day, rather. If somebody pleads not to blame, it is going to trial yet whilst they plead to blame, there is not any trial, basically conviction and then sentence hence the situation right this is whether he can effectively charm rather than exchange his plea, i'd have theory. You state that there is sparkling information that has recently come to mild. There are basically 2 techniques wherein an charm can ensue - if there has been an blunders in regulation interior the preliminary case, eg the decide made a mistake in directing the jury or the incorrect regulation became utilized on the case's specific information OR if sparkling information has come to mild that throws a different perspective on the unique case.

If he feels that they have got acted incorrectly, or not acted in any respect, then he could at the beginning detect a different criminal team to symbolize him and inn the charm then ***** to the regulation Society for solicitors or the Bar Council for barristers who will habit an learn into their movements, or loss of them, and this too may be the muse of a valuable charm. examine on community criminal centers Direct website for legal experts on your component to the country.

    Do you know the word "appeal?" (Not "apple.") A trial de novo in a court of record would work. All of your moaning won't magically cause a Notice of Appeal to be filed on your behalf. Did you even ask the court clerk about the paperwork to appeal? Sheesh.

    No. If you were too weak to resist it's not anyone else's fault.
