My question involves criminal law for the state of: NY
Hi. I lost my wallet in the bus in NYC. I filed a claim in the lost and found department. While doing so, I realized that I have a small packet of crushed up ecstasy in one of the pockets of the wallet. It's the first time I've done something stupid like this and it was my boyfriend at the time who I was holding it for (not really an excuse). In anyone's opinion, do you think I'll be charged with possession of it? I really don't want to get in trouble with the law, and I'll be leaving for Europe to go backpacking for a couple of months by the end of the week. Could I just plead ignorance and say I didn’t know that was there and it could've been placed by anyone while my wallet was unattended? Thank you for your insight and responses.
