Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

I am charged with possession of a Class A substance, but was not enough to measure just residue. What is the most likely outcome in court?

It really depends on a number of factors- your criminal record or lack thereof, where this took place, the judge assigned to the court on the date your case is heard, and the circumstances of your arrest or stop, among many others. You should consult an experienced criminal defense lawyer, and try to have a copy of the police report when you do so.

Best of luck.

I agree with the previous answer. Class A is a serious charge, even if only residue, and should be treated as such. You may have legal defenses that could result in dismissal prior to trial, but that cannot be assessed unless more info is provided and evaluated.

Feel free to contact me about this. Good luck.
