What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
The story begins...
So my boyfriend was arrested for Manufacturing, Possession, and delivery. There is no denying the possession and delivery, but the way I understand it manufacturing is packaging and growing. He had the marijuana in a box in his car (dare I say this was not one of his brightest moments) There were no other baggies or anything in the car. He allowed the police to go back to his house to search because everything he had was in the car. They of course found nothing in the house. He cannot afford a lawyer so he has a court appointed one, but he is not very helpful. I suppose my two questions are 1. Is my idea of manufacturing correct and if so do you know another reason he may be getting charged with it? 2. Is there a way to get another court appointed lawyer?
I already know he is facing serious charges; I just wanted to possibly know more about them. I did some research on my own, but I know there are some lawyers and judges that give helpful information on here sometimes. This is his first drug offense (his only other offense is small misdemeanor of menacing). I would really appreciate any helpful information you can give me, I am currently a college student at the University of Oregon and my boyfriend has completely quit smoking (not that this fact truly matters since it is too late) but he really wants to turn his life around. OH one more question how plausible is it that if he goes to jail his job will fire him. I have heard it is not legal to fire someone based on leave of absence due to jail time, but to me that sounds ridiculous I feel like they would be obligated to fire him. Ok now I have written what feels like a novel… help?
