Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

My Aunt's bf decided to build a meth lab in a shed that he kept locked up and she had no knowledge of. He does have a past as he was paroled on probation. He informed the officers that she had no knowledge of what he was doing. They arrested her anyhow and are trying to charge her with a felony A, 2 C's, and 2 D's. She passed the drug test they gave her after they arrested her and she has absolutely no priors for anything. Does she stand a chance to receive probation only?

I can't answer your question without more information. She may be able to defend the charges against her, or negotiate a plea bargain that avoids prison. She needs to hire the best criminal defense lawyer she can afford. If she can't afford a private lawyer she may wind up with a public defender. I have handled many such cases over the last 36 years in many different Courts. You or you Aunt may call me for a free telephone consultation.
