What is the name of your state? indiana
my nineteen year son was arrested on feb 7th for drug charges stemming from a "drug task force sweep" in august of last year. it was 10 p.m. when they came to the door and he had to spend the night in jail. after posting $1000 bond and waiting for him to be released, i asked to see what the charges were all about. the court document indicated that a confidential informant had him on wire and surveillance selling marijuana, yet he was charged with a misdemeanor possession charge of less than 30 grams.
can we request to see this evidence against him without incurring additional legal expense? what's the next step if he pleads "not guilty"? this evidence supposedly places him in the parking lot of a local store where the "sale" took place, yet, again, he is only charged with a misdemeanor. he absolutely denies ever engaging in this activity, but we fear the charges may be "trumped up" to felony. is this possible once charges are filed?
your help is very much appreciated.
