A prosecutor isn't going to sit around asking those kinds of questions—they either file the charges and then maybe settle things early on, or they just hammer away until the very end. It’s really just a matter of who blinks first.
Just head down to the courthouse and lay out your case—once you get the ruling, file an appeal. From there, it moves up to the higher misdemeanor court, and honestly, if you play your cards right, the whole thing will likely hit the statute of limitations after about two years from the date of the supposed "offense." The only real move worth making here is delaying the receipt of the official ruling. Whenever possible, just ignore the mail carrier and don't sign for those little slips of paper.
