A:
Answered . I am not a PA lawyer so I cannot comment on matters of PA law or procedure. However, had you asked this question in Florida, where I have been a practicing criminal defense attorney for 23 years, then I would say that yes, under the facts as you have proffered, you can.
I would also say that, regardless of what State you are in, posting a confession (as you just did - "I was intoxicated and took a pumpkin from a lawn.") is not going to help your cause.
Anything that you post on Avvo (or similar sites) or on any social media is by its nature public. It is essentially an admission / confession and can be introduced into evidence as a statement against your interest in a subsequent legal proceeding. Once posted you lose any reasonable expectation of privacy, and as this is an open forum there is no attorney client privilege attached, so be careful (forewarned is forearmed.)
Again, I am not a PA lawyer, but still, I respectfully suggest that you get offline and into an experienced Pittsburgh, PA area criminal defense lawyer's office. Make an appointment, show up on time, bring whatever evidence, documents or witnesses that you may have, engage in a meaningful face-to-face consultation and get yourself some advise which is legally sound and has been custom tailored as possible to meet your specific reasonable needs in your unique case.
I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.
