    Default College Student Caught With Marijuana

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan

    I am a college student in MI at GVSU I got a ticket yesterday for my first time possession charge. I'm so scared I can't have a record or I'll have to remove myself from the program I want. I'm 18 years old I was with 2 other kids they only got using charges because it was my car I got possession charges! There had to be less then 2 grams of weed left due to the fact that they caught us after we were smoking and not in the act of smoking. I'm just really wanting to know how screwed I am. I am a really good kid with nothing on my record at all till this. So any advice would be really helpful. Do I need a lawyer? Should I just plead guilty? Any help please!!!

    You should definitely not just plead guilty. Talk to a local lawyer about a disposition under MCL 333.7411 (a/k/a, "seventy-four-eleven"), a deferred sentencing law that would allow you to avoid a criminal conviction. Depending on the full facts, your lawyer may have other ideas, as well. You can see what the prosecutor is willing to offer without first consulting a lawyer, but that depends upon your level of comfort in going to court or dealing with prosecutors without representation.
