What is the name of your state? Live in NJ, charges filed in New York
My son's friend was arrested for possession of .8 ounce of cocaine. This is her first offense for any type of crime. She is a 23 year old college grad with a full-time job, she was released on her own recognizance, no bail. What can she expect? This is listed as a felony; can it be reduced to a misdemeanor?
I have no experience with the legal system so please explain with that in mind.
