Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
what is the meaning of the dispositons on these charges?
As a juvenile(17yoa)to be exact,i was charged with sales/possession of cocaine.The matter was very confusing because the dispositon of the charges do not state weither i was found guilty or not.The dispositions read Possession of Cocaine-CJ Adjudicated Delinquent and Sale of Cocaine-NOLLE PROSEQUI. Which is becoming a henderance as far as me pursuing better career endeavors.I am trying to enlist in the U.S. Army and for this matter alone(sale/poss.of cocaine) my recruiter & I are unsure as to weither i would qualify for a felony waiver,moral waiver. I am unsure weither these said dispositons qualify as felonies or would disqualify me from enlisting. I did not serve any time for these said charges. I would really appreciate if someone could explain to me what my felony status is and the meaning of the dispositions.Thank You.

From your explanation, it appears that you were adjudicate guilty on the possession charge but the charge of sale of cocaine was nolle prossed (non prosecuted) or dismissed. You should get a copy of your record from the county court house in which you were tried in order to determine whether your convinction was for a misdemeanor or a felony.
