Weed? charges? help!?

Question

my sister is renting a place with her friend and her friends daughters grow pot and if they get caught, can my sister be charged too with the felony (since she is renting the place)?

Answer 1

Yeah, anyone living there would be charged since she can't prove she didn't grow/smoke it.

I would recommend her getting the **** out before her and her friends get locked up for 10-15 years.

Answer 2

I think so, more likely is that her friend will though.

Answer 3

Absolutely.  The prosecutor does not have to prove ownership, just knowledge and possession and being in the house can be sufficient evidence of possession.

Answer 4

Yes, she potentially can, but if she really has no part in it, and the proper person that is growing it is questioned, confesses, and tells the police that she had no part, she will be fine.  Overall, if she doesn't smoke any of it or get any money from it I would tell her to evict them or find a new place!

Answer 5

of course..more than likely she will be the only one to get charged because her name is on the lease and she is responsible for what goes on in or at that apartment

Answer 6

yes she is just as liable as her other room mates just like if her and her friends were driving in a car, and it's her friends weed she's going to jail too because she had weed in her car. possession's a *****. and she would get in more trouble depending on the amount of the weed and if she dealt.  

Answer 7

If her name is on the lease she will be screwed.  If it's her place too tell her to stand up for herself and say no they cant grow there.  Jails no fun.

Answer 8

Dude its under the same roof as her and she cant prove she wasnt also growing it so she could be charged with felony id get her out!!!!

Answer 9

If your sister turns them in she will get some form of punishment but i promise you it will not be as severe as the people she is living with. However if your sister fails to turn them in and they get caught her charges will be just as severe as the people who are growing the pot. I strongly recommend she turn them in.  

Answer 10

yes! she may as well be selling and smoking it too. It is in her possession.

Answer 11

most likely.

prolly the same thing as if you're driving and someone in your car has pot, you get charged.

so yeah probably.

Answer 12

yes if she knows and doesn't tell anyone and they get caught she will go to jail to

Answer 13

yes, she is aiding by knowing about it and not reporting. She could even get caught in a raid.

She may be able to make a plea but if she does not know enough, how will she be able to make a deal?

She is a criminal in the judges eyes if she does not report what is happening. She will be charged as one.  

Answer 14

If she knows about it and is in the same house or apt. then yes she would get charged, but her charges will not be as harsh as the actual growers would be.

And if she is smoking it then obviously she will get charged with greater consequences.

I would suggest she get out of there ASAP.  

Answer 15

yes. unless she blames it all on her friend and shes she had no idea that her friend and the other girls were doing that. but there is a great chance that if she did that, all the other girls would blame it on her or just say that she was involved as well.

Answer 16

if she knows about it she is an accomplice by law

but most times only one is charged unless no one will claim it as their own

Answer 17

tell your sister to call the cops

Answer 18

yes,  posession
