As Mr. Ness points out, you will each need an attorney. You can both be convicted of the same crime: that you were both fighting is not a defense. Even if you refuse to testify, there may be other witnesses or evidence that you don’t know about. If you’ve both plead not guilty, the case is probably set for trial already so your time is short!
