Re: possesion

Because you are under 18, your case will be in juvenile court. The process and punishments are different in juvi than they are in adult court. What happens in court depends on your prior arrest record, but the penalties range from some community service up to possibly going to a special program or school.

As for your rights, that would only help your case if they intended to use statements that you made to the police officer in response to questioning.

I would be happy to help you through the process. Please contact my office for more information.
