Her statement may be suppressed but the drugs in her possession may be allowed into evidence if there was a search warrant authorizing the search of persons found on the premises.

Doesn't sound like it would really matter. They would have found it anyway. Her being a minor means nothing here. It depends if she was in custody. I suggest that she get a good attorney and let him or her worry about it.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.
