Going to Court for MIP While on Diversion for a Prior Charge

[Guy1]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington
Hello everyone. Back in December I was charged with an MIC of alcohol in Washington state. This was my first run in with the law (ever) and didn't think too seriously of it, which was a bad mistake. The next month in January, I was charged with a Minor in Possession of marijuana at college. These charges were in two separate counties in Washington. Anyways, the judge for my first MIP offered a diversion plan for me that included 12 months of staying out of trouble, a fine, and 25 hrs of community service. He still granted me the diversion although he knew that I was going to court in a few weeks for a marijuana charge (maybe because I haven't been proven guilty yet?). I haven't yet went to court for my MIP of marijuana and I do not know what to expect what will happen. I know that I am in a lot of trouble but am unsure about how this will work out and what will happen to me. I realize that possibly having 2 MIPs on my record will hurt my future in job oppurtunities. I am a good kid and going to college and need to get out of this mess although it seems impossible. Both of these charges happened at 19 years old. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

If the first judge gave you diversion while knowing about the second charge, there's a chance that the judge intends to allow you to complete the diversion program even if you are convicted. We weren't in court, so you know better than anybody here what the judge said about the other charge.

When you repeatedly violate the law, you send a message to the prosecutor and court that you don't take the law seriously. The best time to care about getting a criminal record is before you start breaking the law, and for most people a first criminal charge is a pretty big wake-up call. You should discuss the details of your charge with your criminal defense lawyer, as the manner in which a court will treat a defendant in your circumstances can vary enormously based upon the position of the prosecutor and probation department, the practices of the judge, and the facts of the case.
