Re: drug laws
Courts do not charge people with crimes. The state (or sometimes the city or federal government) charges people with crimes through the district attorney's office.
The DA can charge one, two, three or a hundred people with possession of the same amount of marijuana. Whether one, two, three or 99 of the co-defendants has already pled guilty is completely irrelevant.
