Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Don't plead guilty (and please, never ever again speak one word to the police). Tell your family. Maybe they can lend you the money to hire a lawyer. If you get convicted you won't work again. Dump loser-boyfriend.

They can still go after him if he was in the house, so your statements may end up not helping him at all.

Your lawyer (yes, you absolutely need one) mayuse your boyfriend's history to your advantage, but you're right - it is tough to unring a bell when you say something is yours.

The good news is that with no prior record, you should be eligible for a drug diversion program. If you successfully complete the terms, the charges get dismissed.

Talk to your lawyer.

When charged with a felony, you potentially face one or more years in prison if convicted, on a misdemeanor, you face up to 6-12 months in jail -- on each count. Effective plea-bargaining, using whatever legal defenses, facts and sympathies there may be to overcome your 'confession', 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. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does, who will try to get a dismissal, reduction or other decent outcome through plea bargain for you, or take it to trial. If serious about doing so, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help use whatever defenses there may be.
