You claim in your question that you did not know beer was in the car and did not know what you were throwing out or why. Lack of knowledge may be something to discuss with your lawyer as a potential defense. If your friend set you up by getting you to get rid of the evidence, you may want to discuss with your lawyer testifying or cooperating in exchange for a deal. Talk to a criminal defense lawyer right away.
