Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Two people being charged with one crime

The police searched my house. Before they came across the pot and pipe that I had in my purse I made them aware of it. They found it exactly where I said it would be, MY purse. Well they charged me as well as my boyfriend, who wasn't even in my house when they found it. Now it is my pipe, it was my pot, it was in my purse so how can the police charge my boyfriend for it? They charged both of us with the same thing, even after they new it was mine. How is that leagal?

You or your boyfriend will have to hire a lawyer to move to dismiss the charges against your BF. Need more facts on why the police were out to search in the first place. Good luck.
