Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland
Want to know if I'm looking at probation or jail time
I am being charged with the following:
CJIS 4-3350 CR5-601 Pos. Heroin (three bags)
CJIS 1-0573 5-601 Pos. Marijuana (from resin found in pipe)
CJIS 5-3550 5-619 Pos. needle for heroin
CJIS 5-3550 5-619 Pos. spoon for heroin
CJIS 5-3550 5-619 Pos. pipe for marijuana
I am 27 years old. This is a first offense. I will be attending a drug rehab program beginning October 2. My court date is December 6.
I want to know if I'm looking more towards probation or jail time. And if jail time, how much time?

Want to know if I'm looking at probation or jail time
In most cases, the arguments of your lawyer determine if you go to jail on those cases where the decision is close. Many factors can be argued in your favor as to why you should not go to jail. Talk to an expirenced criminal lawyer, like myself, for an evaluation of your case.
Re: Want to know if I'm looking at probation or jail time
These are questions which you should be putting to the Maryland attorney who surely must be representing you in these criminal matters by now.
From the information which you've provided thus far, there's really no way to even offer a highly speculative opinion on these matters since you've failed to specify your previous record of criminal conviction(s)---if any.
