First offender act

[bwrig1]

What is the name of your state? ga
I was convicted of Conspiracy to distribute cocaine in 2000, and served my time in Federal Prison. The charge was in Miami, Fla. I did not participate in the deal, but I knew about it.
Can I get my rights back under the First Offenders act. And also they kept referring to tiltle 18. What is title 18?
Second, if I was misrepresented by my attorney, what do I need to prove it, I was sold out as I will call it

Title 18 is just the criminal procedures section.

The First Offenders Act is of no use to you once convicted.

You need to apply for your rights to be restored:

What "misrepresentation" are you talking about?

Conspiracy

Why wasn't I asvised of the first offender act. My attorney told me to answer yes to all questions and not to make the judge mad. I was told to say yes to charges I was not guilty of. I couln't even spell conspiracy until I got caught up in one. I am 69 years old and worked all my life, and now I am a convicted felon who has lost all my rights.

I just read the act. It makes no difference to you, you weren't eligible. It covers posession not conspiracy to distribute.

Go back and read the link I sent you earlier if you want to vote again.
