How'd you get caught again? Just so I know not to make the same mistake. <3
[QUOTE=thisispain;29981737]yeah for future reference remember that if he gives you legal advice and it's wrong you could actually sue him for faulty legal advice because he's accountable[/QUOTE] Wait, so if he does someone a favor by trying to help him out and happens to be wrong, you sue him? That's pretty harsh if he isn't charging for it. Oh wait this is America.
All in all, I couldn't care less if I get charged with a misdemeanor, all I'm wondering is fi you guys think I will do any time in jail/prison.
[QUOTE=Dougz;29981965]As far as I know, if there was no money involved, and it was a gift, I will receive a misdemeanor. I'll take a misdemeanor, I'm just trying not to get any jail time for my first and last charge.[/QUOTE] to the law it's unimportant if you were selling it or gifting it, note it says sell or furnish so it doesn't matter. if they offer you a plea as a misdemeanor you should definitely take it, i doubt they can really throw a felony on you seeing as it is your first charge, it was a very small sum, and you are the exact opposite of who they are targeting. on a personal note: i absolutely hate this vile war on drugs, and i know a lot of my friends lives have been ruined by this stupid shit just for being around it. it's not secret around here that they target non-white people far more than white people because all the white people here get off scott-free for serious shit while non-white people get stuck with felonies for small shit.
[QUOTE=TropicalV2;29981622]plead medical necessity, sue the federal government.[/QUOTE] just a quick addendum, do you have any sort of rare degenerative bone disorder? if so, I believe I can offer you a professional grade legal defense for a relatively inexpensive consultant's fee.
[QUOTE=TropicalV2;29982046]just a quick addendum, do you have any sort of rare degenerative bone disorder? if so, I believe I can offer you a professional grade legal defense for a relatively inexpensive consultant's fee.[/QUOTE] Not as far as I'm aware.
[Quote] This is my first time charge ever. First encounter with the police ever.[/Quote] That helps. If you try to bullshit your way out of it, I could see that really pissing off a judge, but if you take an accountable attitude (along the lines of [I]"I've never been in trouble with the law before & I never want to make a stupid mistake like this again"[/I]) then you might seem like more of a [I]good citizen that just made a big mistake[/I]. But what the fuck do I know, I've never gotten busted :v:
[QUOTE=Dougz;29981805]So, me serving 3 years in state prison would be fair? 14 grams, not a baggy or scale in sight equates to 3 years?[/QUOTE] just state your case the judge will do the rest
op is screwed
[QUOTE=Dougz;29982021]All in all, I couldn't care less if I get charged with a misdemeanor, all I'm wondering is fi you guys think I will do any time in jail/prison.[/QUOTE] You could potentially see a maximum of 12 months in a county jail for a misdemeanour
This is the only bad thing about weed man... The best stuff is always dangerous law wise:(

You don't have much of a chance in court, especially if you get a tough judge. It would have been far better to say that the weed did belong to you and not said anything about your friend. The best thing you could have done would not say anything because they'll will use anything you say against you. If you say "it's not mine, I was going to give it to a friend" you are confessing to trafficking (which is worse than just a possession charge), and you are still guilty of the possession charge, and it also gives plenty of suspicion that you are dealing.

If you don't agree with what you said in the past you've changed since you said it regardless of how long it's been
I posted that not many hours ago, and wouldn't you believe I went to bed since then? 4 hours sleep. :argh: Really sorry Doug :eng99: Continuing with the thread! :eng101:
Man, what do you guys think will happen? 1st charge ever. 14 grams. Fucked up my wording.
If you were in the UK you'd have probably gotten away with it. It's really good here for first time weed offences.
Oh man shit if you have a few left grams you could of got away with an infraction.
In new zealand we get a warning for our first time, then a diversion for the second time where we get like community service or a fine, but no criminal record.

[QUOTE=rexxar;30003408]Do British colonies have the same legal system as Britain?[/QUOTE] No we got it different, the warning thing just came into affect in the past few months. The diversion thing can be used for other minor offenses as well.
Here is a very informative video as to why you never talk to cops. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8z7NC5sgik[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08fZQWjDVKE[/media]
Well, as of yet, they haven't scheduled my arraignment, which means the DA hasn't picked up my case.
Court matters take a while, even for simple things where you just have to plead guilty or not guilty. That was a big argument behind not making people go to court on possession charges in California, it really clogs up the courts.
plead the fifth
