know your "rights".
you have the right to remain silent, anything you say shall be used against you...you have the right for an attorney...and so on and so forth...
whatever your case is, may you be in good or bad faith, still you have your "rights" that you can invoke and exercise until you are proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt by "final judgment".
the best you can do is to, yes i pretty much agree, stop publicizing your case coz you'll get good and bad responses which will only lead you to more confusion.
make very good use of your time. ask legal advice discreetly but don't be too trusting. know the people you open up to and be very careful coz some might sell you out.
study their laws and by-laws.
pray.
tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God.
