I am 17. I was charged with possession with intent to sell ecstasy, I had ten pills on me at the time of arrest, but only 30 dollars. I am not a dealer and I am currently going to rehab. What should i plead in order to obtain the best outcome?

Nobody can give you an intelligent, informed answer to this question without a complete review of the evidence against you. This is not a do-it-yourself project like fixing a leaky faucet that you can handle with a little bit of advice over the Internet.

You need an attorney to represent you in this case. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, ask the judge to appoint the public defender.

You should have an appointed attorney, if you haven't retained qualified counsel yet. If you can't get the case dropped due to some legal or factual problems the state may have with the case, you should attempt to get the charge dropped to straight possession and get a 790 DEJ disposition, if you have no record. Talk to an attorney...most give FREE consultations. Best of luck....David Wallin
