Tough to say for sure as every judge is different. They might ask if “you are representing yourself” they might threaten to arrest the defendant for failure to appear etc. so it’s best to address the matter by way of special appearance and refer to the name as the defendant at all times, and never as though it was you. It’s all at admiralty (colorably) presumed to be over condition of commercial contract. You can ask them to reveal the nature and cause of the charges (6th amendment). They will talk about the cause all day long, you did this or you failed to do that etc; but will not admit to the nature, as even criminal actions are actually civil in nature (called a penal action) where there is a monetary value attached to each charge. They will hold you on behalf of the defendant in prison, and your labor therein will pay off the charges. They might ask how you plead to the charges. Never plead period. Say you haven’t seen the charges. If they bring you a piece of paper, you can look at it but repeat that you don’t see the charges. You can tell them your intent to pleading guilty to the facts (but don’t let them put words in your mouth of pleading guilty to the charges), as they want a dispute (dishonor) which will take the case to trial for fact finding. You need to see the original charging instrument, with actual blue ink signatures on it. You can ask the judge to direct the prosecutor to provide an assessment for the charges, along with a certified audit trail of all transactions, including vouchers as well as all dispersement documents and receipts. The prosecutor might motion for dismissal
