A couple of days ago I made the hugest mistake of my entire life, one that might have ruined my life forever. I was extremely broke, a week before my arrest I canceled my enrollment for my junior year at the state university because i coulndt pay off the rest of the tuition owed. My rent was due and I owed money to credit cards, money tree and people that i borrowed money from to finace college. I had a full time job but it wasnt cutting it. I was in a bad bad place and people were threating to beat me up if I didnt pay them. So one person i owed 1000 to said he would cut it in half if next time I went home I picked up a backpack from one of his friends and brought it back to college for him. I asked him what was in it and he said weed. I decided stupidly to do it since I drive home and back all the time and never get searched or anything. So i did it and when i was driving back i got pulled over by a sheriff coming into town and asked to step out of the car. the sheriff walked the dog around my car and when it barked i was arrested. back at jail some agents came in and said they searched my trunk and found a POUND of weed, two digital scales and get this, 14 grams of cocaine. I was in shock to say the least. so now im facing two felony counts of possesion with intent to distribute for both the weed and the cocaine and a count of delivery of a controlled substance. My question is this, Ive never been arrested before but i was caught this summer taking a 3 dollar thing of chapstick without paying for it because the line was too long and i thought i could get away with it, that said, AM I screwed for life??? Is my life over???? The special agents that did the search warrant told me im looking at 20 years!!!! Im a college student, I cant go to prison, i wont make it. I was released from jail the next day with no bail and i meet with my public defendant in a couple of days so im wondering if you guys also think i completely ruined my life and im going to die in prison? any help is much appreciated.
Mainly the thing im wondering is, "Do you guys think there is anyway of avoiding jail or prison time here???"
