What is the name of your state? Louisiana
Hello, My Son got expelled from school a week ago for possession of a controlled dangerous substance (Marijuana), and his truck was impounded for switched license plates and has to appear in court in feb. he had a court review hearing a few days later (truancy matters) and was confronted by a narcotics detective, saying he had a warrant for his arrest on charges of distribution of marjiana. he arrested him and booked him in the parish jail before releasing him to me (he is a juvenille, 16 years old) now we are waiting on the arraignment court papers to arrive and to be appointed an attorney (he refused to talk to the cops), his BD is in 3 months and I am afraid he will be trialed as an adult. I am so scared he is going to prison for anywhere from 5-30 years, this is the first time he has been in trouble with the law (the truancy isn't being treated as a juvenille delequincy matter yet) so I am hoping they will give him probation. If he is trialed as a juvenille what kinda punishment is he looking at? and if he is trialed as an adult will they actually send him to prison being his is only 16???
(the distribution according to my son was way less then a quarter oz.)
