First and formost get an attorney, I know you say you are in money trouble but the courts will appoint you one. When you go to court ask the courts to appoint you councel. Until then do not say anything else to anyone but your lawyer about this matter. Unfortunatly the courts are not going to care why you were selling pills they only care that you were. Your lawyer can hopefully work his/her magic and get you a plea. your lawyer will also contact any officers that you encountered in the past about this case. do not try to do any of this on your own. Good Luck.

Oh yea, in answer to one of your questions when you go to court you plea not guilty

Police officers do not make the kind of deals you think you were getting. The prosecutor is responsible for that.
One of two things happened- you either got suckered by a crafty police officer, or the information that you provided him turned out to be bad.
Either way, this all went bad when you decided to spill the beans. You have the right to remain silent- USE IT!
