What is the name of your state? Nebraska
Last year I got caught with MIP, <1oz Marijuana, and Paraphanlia. I signed up for a drug course (diversion) for first time offenders. During September, I was with two of my buddies in my car in a parking lot when a squad car came in and detained us. The cop asked if I had anything and I immediately replied "No, you can search me and my car". Obviously, they were inconclusive with finding anything on me or in my car. However, both of my friends who also got questioned were also honest and told the cops what they had. One of my friends had a tiny amount of marijuana and a pipe on him, my other friend had rolling papers. We were cooperative with the police and I got charged with possession of marijuana because my other buddy had it on him while being in my car. My other two friends both got possession and paraphanalia charges.
I was 17 years old at the time of my first run-in with the cops, and I was 17 this time too. However my court date is scheduled for a date that is after I turn 18. Now I'm curious as to a few things..
A. will I be tried as a juvenile since I was 17 at the time of being caught, or will I be tried as an adult for being 18 at the time of court?
B. what should I do in court? plea bargin? (I don't think they will drop my charges)
C. what can I expect to happen at court and what my verdict will (most likely) be?
Thank you in advance for reading all that and evaluating my situation.
