Ok,
so...
The boyfriend (we'll call him M) who lives in NC did something dumb (obviously) and was receiving pot in the mail from a friend in Cali. Toward the end of it, though, he knew he was being watched and got everything but a couple scales and his brother's bowl out of the house. Still, a few days ago, the FedEx man showed up as per usual but M was sleeping.... His friend-NOT a roommate- answered the door and explained that M wasn't available... The FedEx man said, "Oh, no, no, you can sign for it. Here, go ahead." (Mistake 1?) So M's friend, not knowing what it was, signed. And the cops busted in. They found the pieces and his cash and scales, not much else. However, the pigtards left behind 2 scales (Mistake 2?), demonstrating just how meticulate they are. They took M and his friend (I feel so bad for the guy) to a detention center. Set his bail around 7000 because of 1 previous failure to appear for a 2-year-old underage drinking charge.
My questions are:
How is the sloppiness of the police work going to affect the case? Will it play a minor or major factor, if any?
I know his friend can get off the charges because he was coerced into signing. Will it help M's case as the police were attempting something along the lines of entrapment?
M's name was not on the lease. He was not paying rent at that particular time, either. However, they gave him a charge for 'maintaining a dwelling'... Can they do this and is it possible to fight this charge if, like I said, he paid no rent, and his name was nowhere to be seen lease-wise?
Also, his charges are currently only with the state. Apparently they are in talks of handing it over to the feds. If so, does anyone know what the charges would be like? Again, was a half pound- nothing enormous. Would the feds even want to take the case or would the state fight to take it? Like I said, didn't even measure up to 0.3 kg... I can't find anything as far as state OR federal charges for anything under 1 kg... I found some mandatory sentences for weight between 1 and 10kg... but nothing under 1...
Anyone been in a similar situation? I'm hoping he'll get some heavy, heavy probation without jail time.
If you showed up on the thread to bash, go back to your girl scout meeting and suck it. The other mommas boys are the only ones who care to hear it.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
