Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

The sale of 3 pills and the possession of other pills are separate incidents and can be charged separately.

Possession and sale are separate matters that can be charged separately.

If your son does not yet have an attorney, he should retain one immediately and confide only in that attorney and to no one else and especially not on an open forum like the internet.

He is not guilty unless convicted. And he has a right to a trial by his peers before that can happen. Good Luck!

While I agree in principle with Attorneys Harrington and Murray, I suggest that you consult with the attorney who represented your son in the district court proceedings. Ideally, all of the incidents would have been addressed in that proceeding, so that your son could not be charged later for what you've called "the same case." The attorney who handled that district court matter would be in the best position to know. To be honest, I'm a little surprised by the scenario you've described, because normally everything would have been addressed in district court, and I imagine that the police report referenced both the undercover buys and the search warrant. In any event, you need to go to the source, and that would be the attorney who represented your son in the district court proceeding. Good luck.
