Information involving felony meth possession reduced to misdemeanor
California State - Hi, I am charged with felony possession of meth H&S 11377. I am representing myself in this matter. I need to know some case involving the reduction of felony charges to misdemeanor because of the small amount of narcotic. I was arrested and charged with under a half of a gram of methamphetamine. During the preliminary examination the officer testified that when he weighed the drug, he also weighed the bag that it was in. Therefore, the majority of this weight was including the weight of the bag itself. Hence, I was not actually in possession of the precise weight they claimed, but much less. I moved to have the charge reduced from felony to misdemeanor under p.c. 17(b). The Judge said there is certainly authority in existence for him to do this, whereas the charge is "a wobbler". However, he wants the particular case law regarding this. Can anyone help me and direct me to some case which involves this scenario. I need some case which involves the reduction of felony charges to misdemeanor because of the small amount of the drug.
