What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina (NC)
I was with 2 friends in my car and I was driving. I was stopped for license check and they did smell marijuana because I had like 0.8 grams of Marijuana in my car. I am way too honest. I was asked how much Marijuana do I have and I told them a little bit and I handed it to them but still they did rip my car and searched it thoroughly and found nothing because that's all I had. It's my first offense I have never been charged for anything before. I was cooperative and I took responsibility and I told them that it was only mine although it was not all mine 3 of us bought it together(I was protecting my friends)and that was the left over in my car. I got a local criminal defense lawyer because now I am charged with misdemeanor class 3 only possession I was advised by my lawyer to complete 24 hours of community hours before the court date and I did complete that my case is pending for the court date. My record is very important for me I didn't smoke again after that incident. What can I expect what's gonna happen? The lawyer told me that I will not be convicted but I am not sure if that's true. Also when can I expunge this charge? After expungement how is it going to affect me for the rest of my life?
I am 21 years old and any advice will be appreciated.
