Second Marijuana Offense in Maryland?
Question by : Second Marijuana Offense in Maryland?
In June of 2008 I was pulled over and my car was searched and marijuana was found. I never received a court date. In November of 2008 I received a DUI with possession of marijuana. For that I was sentenced to 30 days in jail and 2 years of supervised probation. It is now May 2009 and I have just received a court summons for possession in June 2008. Since my DUI I have completed a 26-week drug and alcohol abuse program and have never had a dirty urinalysis for my probation officer. Since this is my second offense, yet I have completed a drug and alcohol abuse program and abstained from drug use for probation, what do you think the outcome of my trial will be?
I know I am guilty and will most likely plead guilty, but what could my sentence be?
My first offense was for 1.5 grams and my second is for .5 grams.
Will My Friend End Up With Rehab or More Then Likely Go to Jail?
Question by Kevin Cates: Will my friend end up with rehab or more then likely go to jail?
I have a friend who is on felony probation for 3 years in Illinois with a 10 year back up. She lives in Missouri so she has to report to a probation officer in Missouri. Back in October she violated her probation 6 times in one day. 4 times for being around people who were on probation, one time for being in a bar, & another time for testing positive for marijuana. Well for some reason her probation officer didn’t do a thing. They gave her a new probation officer after this happened. This new probation officer has already put her in prison twice in the past. She has already been in rehab twice in the past 5 years. Well a month ago she knew she was going to piss dirty for drugs. So she admitted she was dirty and the probation officer recommended rehab again. This girl just cant seem to stay out of trouble. She has a long criminal history for drugs & petty crimes. Can they bring her juvenile record into all this? Come friday she has to go in front of the judge. This judge has only been on the bench for one month. She is really coming down hard on people. My friend has a bad record & has already been to rehab. Can the judge override what the probation officer recommends? Whats the odds that my friend ends up in jail for 10 years instead of rehab?
