My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio
Recently I got a ticket for Possession and Paraphernalia on the campus of Ohio University. First off there were 4 people on the ground with the only evidence being an empty bowl and a lighter. How is this possession? Also the officer said that he could get all four of us in trouble or one of us. The friends I was with froze and left me to talk to the cop which ended up in me being the one admitting to the bowl. The problem with this is that I have been on probation for getting caught with a few beer in the dorms early on. When this gets sent to the school I will most likely be suspended. My parents probably wont allow me to come back after the suspension. I came on here looking to see if there is any way one of my friends can come to court with me and take the charges instead of me. Any advice will help. I know Ive made a pretty big mistake but i need a second chance. Thanks in advance.
