Really? Why on EARTH would you believe that? Even the Mafia has their sellouts, so why should YOU engender even more loyalty than the mafia?
If your customers are young and they value their freedom, they may very well testify in order to save their own hides. Plus, it could well be that one or more of your customers was working with the cops from day one.
I hear this "they would never testify against me ..." claim from many suspects - from drug dealers to abusers (domestic and sexual). They are most often wrong.
You can make up any excuse you want, but you'll likely never get a chance to tell the tale on the stand. First, your attorney is not going to suborn perjury. Second, your attorney ain't gonna put you up on the stand to get taken apart by the prosecution on cross examination! (Understand that you cannot plead the 5th if you testify on your own behalf.)I was just wondering if I had an excuse that says Im "selling" cigar wraps instead of marijuana, it would get me out of the distributing marijuana charge.
About all your attorney can do is try to cast reasonable doubt upon whatever evidence or testimony the state has. But, it may be too little.
This isn't a joke. With that money I earned I set up several organizations for the poor inmy town. I donated over $12,000 to the numerous churches in my town. I also invested in my future so i can have college paid or by the time im out. I didn't just blow it on stupid flashy things like every other kid would. And if my whole life is going to be ruined because of this, I don't want to be on earth any more. I believe I have my spot in heaven, with God waiting. So if you really think it's that funny, i hope you feel good with God watching over you. So if you want to actually help me out, God bless you

Thank you for actually trying to answer my question. But say no one testified, and all the evidence they had was the texts from my phone, the box of sandwhich bags, and the tiny flakes of marijuana. Do you think that is enough to say that I am selling marijuana? Or do you believe there is a chance? Please be honest. Any information is greatly appreciated.
so, do you troll on may forums or are we special here? I just love it; I should be excused from being held accountable for my crimes due to my philanthropy it allowed me to engage into.
Well, part of philanthropy is accepting that your only reward for giving is the warm fuzzy feeling you get by giving. Now that you want some sort of benefit, it is no longer philanthropy but a sleazy dirty effort to buy favors. Which do you want it seen as?
and then the catch all
God will bless you if you help me.
You're a hoot!!
There are two kinds of people that commit suicide:
those that cause a loss to society because they are dead
those that improve society because they are dead
I know which one I see drug dealers as. How about you?
as to evidence:
the baggies, the texts, the marijuana, the farm next door, and the posts you have made here are more than plentiful to prove your guilt.
So that makes dope dealing okay? The cartels in Mexico do the same thing! The Mafia has done the same thing! Go to Chicago and look at organizations set up by the Gangster Disciples to serve the poor - and even run candidates for office. None of this makes their crimes any better or makes them good people as they still foster death and offer the promise of destroyed lives. Your "good works" with ill gotten gains is effectively blood money.
Any church worthy of the name would reject your donation if they knew how you obtained the money.
Until this, I thought you were some penny-ante kid with a small market of a few grams between friends. Now, it is clear that you are much bigger than that and I would have my doubt that a good deal is coming your way.
YOU chose to take the risk knowing full well that prison was the almost inevitable result down the road. There are consequences to our foul deeds.And if my whole life is going to be ruined because of this, I don't want to be on earth any more.
I pray that you do not really seek to end your life as that would be compounding the tragedy. You can do much better by taking the experiences you have and teaching others how not to follow along the same path. Take whatever divine spark prompted you to support these charities and grab onto THAT ... not the pain you will have to endure if convicted. I know many good people whose lives improved after prison for worse offenses than sales.
Accept responsibility and grow from it.
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load. Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Galatians 6:1-8 (NIV)

You're living a pipe dream if you believe no one will testify. And, as mentioned, it is very likely they already have MORE than one controlled buy into you.
If ALL they had was sandwich baggies, texts, and flakes, a case for sales would be very weak. But, I can guarantee you that they have more than that. Heck, they'd probably need a little more than that just to get the search warrant for your place!
Consult that attorney ASAP.
Just so you know, sport, I post on a number of boards and you've gotten the most polite responses here that you'd get on any of them. You think we're a tough room here? Most of the other message boards I know would have torn you into shreds.
Why don't you try the "Its fall, the leaves are blowing and crumbling, my windows were down" defense. The court won't believe you, but they will enjoy a good laugh at lunch.
I'm sorry I know I'm just stressed out. I understand what I did was wrong, I just wanted to make a difference for my family and a difference in general. I know I have to face the consequence, whatever they may be. I'm just dying for some information, any information, reassurance, ect. Im a good kid and pray atleast once a day. I just am looking for some help. That's all.
There is little reassurance that can be provided. You committed some serious offenses and it is very likely the state has a good case against you. Your actions almost certainly have damaged lives and maybe even destroyed a few. For that, you will have to pay the piper. Your attorney may be able to leverage your lack of any prior record or even good deeds into a plea offer, but that might well depend on the mood of the DA.
A "good kid" does not deal drugs.
One who prays should seek guidance and absolution from God, not flaunt Him by committing even greater sin. Your actions will speak far louder than your prayers should you actually wake up and heed His word rather than pretending to.
I want to make a difference for my family as well but I sure am not going to intentionally break the law to do it. Since I see me going to jail as a detriment to my family, I would not commit a crime, even if it itself did provide some benefit to my family since there is a great possibility of the results of committing the crime would be a greater injury to my family than not having the money gained from the illegal activity.
In other words; committing a crime for the reasons you list is the result of no foresight into what is likely to happen.
In even simpler terms; duh!! what were you thinking?
