    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio

    well heres my story:


    Someone I know got busted for selling marijuana and shrooms to an undercover cop four times. (marijuana three times ans shrooms once). and well what happend was my friend got into this undercover cop car and went down the street parked in house thats forsale and thats when all the other cops had came and got my friend on the ground. later when they took my friend to the station they read my friend the rights and went on explaining that s/he has two choices prison or help them get the"big guy" my friend choose to help the cops out. the cop that my friend was selling to had told his boss that my friend and himhave a bond and is going to help him out as much as he can.

    I guess im confused more than anything ive done reasearch and cant find the right answers.

    i would like to know are his charges going to go down to misdominers or stay felonies?

    Your friend needs to seek the advice and assistance of an attorney as soon as possible. Police do not decide what someone is charged with, that is up to the state prosecutors. An attorney can make sure to work directly with the police and the prosecutors as he helps assist them with getting evidence against the "big guy".

    As of now it's a felony,what happens depends on the state and how strict the local court and da is. It also depends on the amount,if he sound a few ounces and a small amount of shrooms it's a bad charge but more then a lb and a lot of shrooms then it's starts to get real hairy. I strongly suggest he speak to a lawyer before doing anything.

    If it's his 1st offense it helps somewhat also being under 19 helps in some states b.c they have a youthful offender program. They probably are more strict on the shrooms then weed. It's up to the Da if they are willing to lower the charges,don't trust the cop tell your friend to work with a lawyer. It's really a crap shot but a good lawyer might be to get them a probation deal or some type of shock program to avoid jail even without working with cops. Working with cops probably work in they're favor,it's best to speak to a lawyer.

    Any sale of even marijuana in Ohio is a felony. As TC states, psyocybin is going to elevate this to aggravated trafficking. Your friend needs a lawyer. This isn't magically going a way or be reduced to a misdemeanor. He'd be lucky to avoid prison. He can get 6-18 months for each mj count and up to five years on the shrooms.
