A close friend got busted with weed on her. She also got 2 extra charges for drugs that were not hers. Yet the driver who was also on felony prob. For those drugs walked away. What can she do?
Hmmmm. Think she has a pub def. She is raising 2 kids alone n lives paycheck to paycheck..
She needs best legal help NOW, not later. If she's getting charged with stuff she wasn't holding. I presume it wasn't her car... Driver probably sold her out. It really wasn't smart to be carrying weed on a "date"... a multiplier for a minor charge
Many have legal aid societies that do pro bono (no charge) work.
She might get better representation that way.
she may have child custody problems if convicted. Another resource to explore is womens shelters & such resources. May have pro-bono lawyers who'd help protect her interest. She needs to get best representation before this goes further.
She made a deal with the state n got 6 months probation. N if she finishes it they will drop the charges
Then she really needs to keep her nose clean... but diversion is good.
