My question involves criminal law for the state of: North saint louis Missouri
Was pulled over in my driveway at 2 am, on terms of a suspicious car.. Was self medicating since I have a slipped disk and degenerative disc disease and cannot take vicodens like my Docs want. Gave the police everything I had, a pipe, grinder, and 17 grams of marijuana. We were kind to each other and he told me to not sweat it. they weighed out my marijuana in front of me and said it was 17 grams. I was kept on 24 hour hold then on hour 23 I was served with a warrant of 35 grams or more which is a felony, held for 5 days on 10,000 cash only bond until the day before video court when it mysteriously changed to the misdemeanor amount (35 grams or less) The prosecutor is , or was, a family friend and knows me personally. I do not have a single prior. So in short, I was wrong. i acknowledge that. They know it was 17 grams because it was entered into my evidence the night i was arrested as "about 20 grams" so knowing it was about 20, why did the prosecutor charge me with the felony amount? then change it to be correct right before i went to video arraignment? What can or should i do about this? Also, she is on thin ice. the prosecutor and her buddy buddy judge found Russel Faria guilty of murder while suppressing important information and he was found guilty, he was recently retried and found innocent. it was a big thing here in saint louis, it was even on dateline so I'm wondering if i should try media or am i over reacting?
