In May I got arrested for minor in consumption of alcohol, minor in possession of tobacco and possession of marijuana. I’m 17. If I would have been 18 I wouldn’t have gotten arrested, just a ticket. I have never been in trouble before (besides one minor in poss. of tobacco last august) I finally got my court date and they said I need an attorney. Why?!? What could they make me do? (fines…probation…comm. service…etc) I live in Kansas.
haha well:

My fiance was charged with 2nd degree burlary and his attorney and DA agreed upon dropping it to a misdemeanor with one year probation. He has not signed the paperwork yet. The disposition was filed. He recently was charged with another misdemeanor and i’m wanting to know if the DA can go back and re-charge him with a felony on the burlary.
law/drug possession question?
01
Apr
For my law class I am doing a mock trial, and I am the lead defense attorney.
The defendant is accused of drug possession and selling of marijuana.
One of the prosecutions pieces of evidence is that through police surveillance, they have noticed “a steady stream of students entering and leaving the house while his parents are at work.” This is supposed to support the idea that he is a drug dealer.
Does anyone have a good, plausible explanation as to why this would be, other than that he is selling illegal drugs?
thanks!
:]
*also, the cops have noticed him wearing expensive clothes, and adding “expensive, high preformance components” to his car. They also found weed in his house, during a house party he was throwing, but that is, at least to me, circumstancial evidence, as it cannot DIRECTLY link him to the weed.
and thanks for all the help, everyone(:
Apparently the expensive clothes is supposed to mean he is making alot of money all the sudden. I feel that this is really jumping to conclusions.
Sorry for adding so many detail, everyone. But everyone who answers says they need more facts..
so hereswhat I know..
all the police found in their search of his house:
- seven kilogramsof marijuana. (in his house, not in HIS room, car, or on his person)
- more than 2,500 in cash
- a folder marked “business” with the name and number of the already convited drug dealer who gave the police the kids name as part of his plea bargain.
he was charged under title 21, united states code, section 84(a)(1), S 841 prohibited acts.

As I understand it, State Crime Labs in the US receive evidence samples from police and return reports on those samples to police. Do they also communicate with members of the prosecution teams when those cases come to trial? Do they communicate with the defense teams of those accused?

Drugs were found in a vehicle after a random traffic stop, they found drugs in the vehicle, but not on the driver, who was driving a friends car. It’s basically choosing a good attorney with experience vs public defender just out of law school.
Can I go to the trial myself instead of hiring an attorney when I try to get possession of an occupied house?

Our properties are occupied by tenants who don’t want to move out. We hired attorneys to help us when we go to trial at court. That’s just a normal procedure. Attorney asked me the same questions every time. I am wondering, maybe I can just go to the trial myself and save some attorney fee. I am in L.A, california, by the way.
