Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

My son was visiting California from Michigan and he was arrested here and charged with possession of a controlled substance HS M11377(A) , under the influence of a controlled substance HS 11550(A) and possession of a narcotic with intent to sell HS 11378(A) . He claims he is guilty of the first 2 charges but he did not attempt to sell anything. I posted his bail and he went back to Michigan where he lives. My question to you is even with the charge of possession with intent to sell would he be eligible for prop 36 or pc 1000? This is his first offense. He has to go to court next month.

It is possible, it would depend on any plea bargain. This is not something you want to just hope that a PD will be able to handle. They are very busy, and you do not want your son to get lost in the shuffle. I am from Ohio myself, so know how you must be feeling, it is scary having these things happen so far from home. This is a tough situation. I would be happy to discuss this with you whenever you like.

I say this with all earnestness, and hope you can see that I truly feel this to be the case, your son need's an attorney immediately.
