Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: con to sales of cocaine

The authorities can always charge you with anything (most $100 bills have trace amounts of cocaine on them!)

They would have to prove you did some act in furtherance of drug dealing, and if you did, yes, you are a conspirator and you can be arrested, charged, and convicted. If you were recently arrested, now would be a good time to hire a lawyer. Please feel free to call me anytime if this describes your situation.

Re: con to sales of cocaine

Yes, if the other information available supports such a charge.

Merely being caught with a large amount of money is not a crime, but your question implies that the police would know where the money came from. The nature of the other information they have would determine what charges you might face.

Re: con to sales of cocaine

Charged? Sure.

Convicted? Who knows. The available and admissible facts and evidence will determine that, not just your version of events. If there are grounds for suppression motions or other pre-trial motions, make them. If you don't know how to conduct the proceedings, file the pleadings, and effectively represent yourself in the hearings and trial while opposed by experienced prosecutors, feel free to contact me if serious about defending this through counsel.
