Not enough info. Did he already plead guilty or no contest ? From the bare facts you speak of, it doesn't look like enough for possesion for sales, but there may be more. If he has pled, its very difficult to undo the deal. If he hasn't pled, get him a qualified attorney to handle this matter if you can afford it. I wish your cousin the best...Dave Wallin
I agree with Mr. Wallin. Note that whether your cousin intended to distribute the drugs involves more than how much he had on him when he was arrested. There may be evidence he tried to sell that small amount. Or perhaps there is evidence he sold (or tried to sell) on a prior occasion.
