My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia
I was in the passenger seat of my friends car with my friend in the driver seat and a police pulled up on us. After finding probable cause (marijuana residue) on my pants I was arrested and charged with possession under an oz.
When I was booked at the jail they told me I was also being charged with a felony possession of a schedule 3 controlled substance. This pill was not mine, was not on my person and I am not the owner of the vehicle. In fact, the police never asked either of us about who owned the pill, he simply charged both of us with it
He didn't ask us to take ownership of it and if he did I'm sure the driver would have claimed it.
I cannot afford a a lawyer, is it possible I can get this charge dropped using my defense and also getting the owner of the pill to make a statement saying it was his?
