What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
So, we were pulled over. We were asked to step outside of the vehicle and were searched. Syringes were found, which provided probable cause to search the vehicle. 3 grams of heroin were found and we were promptly arrested and booked (on an interesting note, I have no memory of my miranda rights ever being read, the officer simply said "you're under arrest for possession of narcotics...)
The vehicle does not belong to me and I was not driving.
I am being charged with possession of narcotics (felony) and possession of paraphenalia. I have one prior charge (possession of marijuana).
What do you think my chances are of fighting this or appealing for a misdemeanor, and if convicted what do you think would be a likely sentence?
I have very little financial resources to afford a real lawyer unfortunately.
