First Offense Possession of Cannabis by a Minor in Florida
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
Alright, I'm under 18
I Was caught with less than 20g of Marijuana, in school grounds.
I Had purchased it that same day, in school grounds from another student.
This is my first offense - The DAs office said they will file charges.
I Know this is a Misdemeanor with a Maximum 1 Year and $1,000 fine.
Just looking for a few answers if possible:
What is a likely sentence for a guilty plea?
Will this stay on my record once im over 18?
Any recommendations on what to do?
I Know it was a stupid decision - Too late to reverse it now.

Probably a fine, community service and probation... but anything up to the max is possible.

Probably not, but it depends on how you are tried. You need to get an attorney to try to get this deferred so that it doesn't show up on your record.

Sell everything you own and get the best attorney you can.
