Re: marijuana possession

Hello---Thank you for your question. Without having more facts it would be difficult to predict what will happen in this case. The cops have probably tried to get statements from all those people in the car to help them attribute possession to one person. Also, you say that the "friends" left---does that mean that the cops did not speak to them about the MJ? Please email me to discuss, if you'd like. Thanks, Attorney Woodwrth

Without counsel, "slim to none". With counsel, he may be able to effectively use the facts to defend the case charges. Contact a local criminal/juvenile law attorney.
