Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

The toughness of defending a possession charge us defined by several things. Among then are; the statements ask the his made during the stop, what the officer(s) observed, and what court the case is in. I suggest that you and your Son consult directly with a criminal defense attorney in your area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation. That attorney woo need more information than you can provide here, in order to give thorough advice, specific to the case.

Good luck

Of course it is imperative to avoid any conviction. From the information you provide, there is a good chance that the criminal charge can be defeated either though trial or perhaps earlier. It is also very likely that a conviction can be avoided through the plea bargaining process. The trial would be more expensive and would involve the risk of your son being wrongully convicted, which would require an appeal. I have handled, and gone to trial, on many drug cases over the last thirty-five years. If the case is pending in a jurisdiction where I regularly practice, I may be able to offer my services to you.
