Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

fighting possession of marijuana charge 1st offense

my friend already went diversion on the case but in the police report it says ''(my freind) said that the marijuana was his as well as the pipe in the car. And that all persons had smoked some 5 hours prior''

''(my friend) said that he had purchased the marijuana earlier in the day.'' so i dont understand why i can get charged if i did not purchase the marijuana and he admited to it to it right off. So another question, if my friend is in diversion, can that be revoked if he came to court and testified it was his?

You don't have to buy to possess. Well, your friend should talk to his lawyer about that but I'd say no, his diversion probably couldn't be revoked for testifying.
