Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

My husband and I got pulled over and we both were arrested. My arrest charges were sales of a controlled substance. My husband got site and released for under the influence. Now they are charging me with conspiricy to commit a crime. Penal code 182(a)(1). We have eleven co-defendants that we don't even know. I live in Riverside County California. Will this be able to stick?

The problem with your post is that you are expecting an attorney to make a prediction about the outcome of a case. You are asking us to make this prediction without giving us the benefit of having reviewed the allegations of the complaint filed by the prosecution, a review of the police report, interviews with witnesses, and a detailed interview with you. I don't normally answer these types of questions, because we can't give you a definitive answer on something like that. It is as if you expect us to take your word that you are innocent and then issue a guarantee.

I strongly urge you to find a criminal defense attorney in your area, and sit down and go over your case in detail, prior to your arraignment. If you cannot afford an attorney, you need to ask the court to appoint the public defender.

Nobody can tell you what will happen. Your attorney can give an opinion on outcome after learning all the facts, issues, evidence, etc. Obviously you face serious problems with a multi defendant felony case. Police and DA's don't file charges they don't think they can win. If serious about hiring counsel, feel free to contact me.
