Re: fessing up!

Regardless who confesses to what, chances are high that the jury will believe that both of you were part of the same single effort to sell drugs which included the weed found on you and the meth found on her. Part of the reason is that you are husband and wife and, it seems, both of you knew about all the drugs.
