My friend was on base because he had duty. When he arrived to his car his car was searched because someone he doesn’t know thought he stole his lap top. A lap top was not found, but a gun was found under the passenger seat. He was arrested and he is now in the naval brig. He didn't know the gun was there. The gun belongs to his cousin and is registered. The gun has not been used to commit any crimes. His appointed lawyer told him that he will get a two and a half year sentence. He also told him if he fights it and looses he can get a five year sentence. He doesn't have a past criminal record. Should he try to get another lawyer or is there no possible way he can serve less time.
