Re: possession of cannibus

I have been licensed in Illinois for over twenty years, and I have handled hundreds of criminal cases. I know of absolutely no such law which provides for an automatic plea bargain such as you question suggests. In fact, different State's Attorneys in different counties approach these cases in different manners. Obviously, different Judges are going to have different opinions,policies and track records when it comes to dealing with criminal charges of these types. In your situation it is absolutely imperative that you obtain the best legal representation you can get and as soon as possible. Please do not make the mistake of going through this on your own in the belief that you will get the deal you described in your post.If you are not already represented by legal counsel, you may call me for a free telephone consultation at 314-727-2822.
