You face a Federal felony drug charge with prison time that will likely be vigorously prosecuted. Suggest you get a good defense attorney. Effective plea-bargaining, using whatever legal defenses, facts and sympathies you may have, could possibly keep you out of jail/prison, or at least dramatically reduce it, depending upon all the facts and evidence. Not exactly a do it yourself project in court for someone who does not know how to effectively represent himself against a professional prosecutor intending to convict you. If serious about hiring counsel, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help you use whatever defenses you may have.
