Selling one of the contraband pills is enough to convict your father, and,

therefore, attempting to get a reasonable plea deal with the Commonwealth is

probably the best route for him to follow in this matter.

Your father, however, may wish to get the opinion of another criminal defense

counsel in the area as to whether the context of the transaction which you've

described should make any difference in the disposition of the case.
