    Default Re: Marijuana Possession and Deferred Sentence

    why does pleading guilty make a difference? if its a first time charge wouldnt they offer you deferred sentence anyway? my daughter has a first offense minor in possession alcohol charge and we are trying to decide what to plea. innocent takes up court time. couldnt we ask for the charges to be dropped if no future problems occur?

    You can ask for whatever disposition you want. Asking and getting are very different things.

    Not everybody is offered a deferred sentence. Many jurisdictions (you don't identify yours) have diversion programs or deferments for first time drug offenders, so it's worth investigating.
