My question involves criminal law for the state of: OR
I had an acquaintance recently get busted for attempting to manufacture hard drugs in his campus dorm at a university in Oregon. He is currently under investigation, however, we have no idea whether he will be prosecuted at the federal level vs. the state level, or maybe both. We are hoping he will be prosecuted at the state level because the maximum punishments for manufacturing are much less severe than the federal guidelines.
Can someone with knowledge please tell me what jurisdiction a case such as this falls into? Is there any way of knowing for certain before charges are brought forth?
