You are guilty.
Trust me. The only way you would be innocent is if you were at home doing your homework. Or at work. Or being a productive member of society instead of drinking in a parking lot.
No matter what you say or do... you were there. You can try to reason with the judge, tell her/him how unfair it is. And all they will say is, "You're underage. You were drinking in public. The fact that even if you hadn't been caught there, you would have been caught drinking and driving. And trust me... Adding a DUI to MIP isn't fun. You could have killed someone. You could have killed yourself. So don't talk to me about fair."
See, I've done all this before. I've been that cocky 19 year old that thought he new more about the law then the judge or DA. And trust me... I didn't.
