Re: Is mother guilty of adult sons misdemeanor marijuana poss?

The answer to your question really depends on the circumstances. Did the mother know the son had marijuanana in the home? Did she allow him to keep it in the house? Where was the marijuana found? In the kitchen, his room, the coffee table? However, before you start giving out all sorts of information you really need to consult with an attorney since a communication made outside the attorney client relationship is not priviledged. Furthermore, communications that take place in cyberspace may constitute a waiver since those communications are suceptible to third party interception. Bottom line? Call an attorney, discuss the matter with him or her and get an opinion.
