What is the name of your state? California
If my roommate is cultivating marijuana (3-8 plants) will I be held responsible?
And would the situation be different if:
-I had no knowledge that it is happening (if it takes place in a room that is not directly accessible - under house)
Would it be more of a matter of the prosecution proving that I did know, or would it be more that I had to prove that I didn't know?
or
-My roommate takes full responsibilty
Also, as far as I am aware, cultivation is a felony, but that deferment is possible if certain conditions are met (no priors etc.). What is the likelyhood with such a small amount involved that a severe senteced would be realzed (felony with jail time )? It can with those stipulations, but how often is it that the maximum penalty is upheld if the accused has no priors? If I was held responsible would the fact that I didn't know or that my roommate took responsibility increase the chance of a misdemeanor plea or differment?
Thank you for any assistance.
