Ok, so I have trial to try to get a possession of controlled substance charge dropped...

Question

I got arrested for: possession of controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of stolen property, and probation violations... i also have two old charges: trespassing and assault.

when i got arrested i went to juvy for a week and had court, they sent me to another juvy for three more weeks and then i had court again... that day at court i admitted to all the charges except controlled substance, and they set me a trial to try and get it dropped and i went home from juvy that day. What will happen at my trial?

Total, I have 6 charges.

And just to let you know:

I'm not gonna plead guilty to the possession of a controlled substance at my trial.

I'm already on supervised probation.

I failed all my drug tests for thc.

So whats gonna happen at trial?

Answer 1

Its pretty much up to your PO who will let the judge know what he recommends.  You should be prepared to get placed in a locked facility

Answer 2

Your lawyer will have prepared a defense for you; if you don't have one, I advise retaining a lawyer, because he/she will know the ins and outs of the legal system.

He will present your case after the prosecution presents theirs, and the jury will decide your fate, unless of course, you waive your right to a jury trial and opt for a bench trial instead. (That is where a judge will determine your guilt or lack thereof.)

If you can't afford a lawyer, the court has to provide one for you, if you state you want one.

What evidence the prosecution (basically the police and government lawyer) has will probably be the deciding factor of the trial. The more damning the evidence, the more likely you'll be found guilty. Then again, if your lawyer presents a good case, you could be found not guilty.

It all depends on the circumstances. The basic elements of a trial are always the same. The actual experience is never the same, and the verdict is always up in the air.

Hope I've helped.
