Question
Suppose they were 6 extacy pills with the following charges of "attempting to distribute pills" 1 tiny empty bag/a small blunt of marijuana/careless driving and a DUI. How would this result in court if proven guilty? Is there perhaps time involved? or just rehabilitation and fines since it is his 1st offense.
Shanette,
As it says in the first line of my profile I cannot and will not speculate on possible jail sentences or what a judge will do. I would have no idea about that because I don't know you, your past, who the judge is, what the law is in your state, and countless other reasons that could come into play.

Expertise
Please do NOT ask questions about potential jail sentences that you or your friends may receive in court. There is no way for me to know that. I am NOT a probation officer or a parole officer so questions about those subjects will be rejected. I am a police officer with 26 years experience. Can answer questions about crime, police procedure, investigations, criminal law, search and seizure, traffic offenses. Prefer not to answer questions on the death penalty. Please do not ask homework questions. Remember this. The law in every state is different so questions about laws that are specific to your state could be difficult to answer. I also cannot give you legal advice on what to do or not to do in court. I have worked with authors in the past and will be happy to review scenarios or plots with authors to check for believability or accuracy.
