What is the name of your state? Indiana
First off wanted to say thank you in advance for the website / forum.& that I am naive to most of this process (first offense). Anyways, Last year I was arrested for possession of marijuana (less than 30 grams) & possession of paraphernalia. I wrecked fiancés car into a tree and was taken to the hospital. She arrived at the accident and the police officer asked her to search the car and she said yes. Although (I’m not proud of this) , the officer did find a smoking pipe , but the drug he found was actually pep spice . Not marijuana . But he charged me with marijuana. He came to the hospital do to a sobriety test on me and I passed. After this, I went into a 90 day rehab program. I have all of the papers I need to verify. I was wondering what I should do in court? Ask for a public defender? Or should I tell the judge the truth it wasn’t weed, lol. Or just see if I can get charges dropped? This is my first offense ever. I go to court Wednesday. Thanks so much!!!!
