I have been busted and arrested for possession in less than a month. First time I had less than a gram, a pipe, and a scale. They sent a warrant for my arrest so I can know my court date. I was picked up 60 miles away and I was arrest and I had less than a gram again. I spent the weekend in jail and before I left they drop my second possession charge. I'm fucked
don't just plead guilty. Call up the proscuting attorney for your case and tell them your going to a psychiatrist and getting help with your drug problem. Tell them your going to school or working. After talking with her she dropped 4 charges down to 1 and I got off with a 100 dollar fine and 40 hours community service
NEVER plead guilty right off the bat. Get a lawyer, good or bad, just get one. Our system works on plea bargaining, they load charges on you, and the DA and your lawyer compromise on a lesser punishment
"you have the right to remain silent anything you say or do can and will be used against you in the court of law. you have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, an attorney will be supplied to you by the state." isn't that your rights or something ?
Find money, sell your shit on craigslist. And yes a public defender would be assigned to you but you don't really want to have one unless you can't get a real lawyer
Madcap's advice is your best bet for a minimum sentence, from my experience you'll most likely end up paying more money in the end if you just plead guilty/dont get a lawyer but thats just imo.
Fuck. I'm going to call the proscuting attorney if it would help if i went to rehab for my drug "problem"
How would I ask him that? Would I just call him and tell him my name and ask if rehab would help my case?
That wouldn't help me at all. I live in rural Missouri. They already don't like a lot of black people.
