    Default Possession of Firearm by a Felon and Violation of Probation

    Hi. A friend of mine was recently arrested in Broward County, Florida. His charges are: possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, violation of probation, possession of cannabis less than 20 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia. His bond is $2,500. He paid an attorney a good amount of money in order to get 5 years probation for his first offense with no jail time. He didn't tell me what the first offense was, but I'm pretty sure that it was possession of cannabis over 21 grams, possibly with intent to distribute. I'm pretty sure he is going to hire an attorney for these charges as well. I was just wondering if someone could let me know what the best and worst case scenarios in this situation are. Thank you for your time.

    Best case? More probation. Worst case? Prison.

    This doesnt sound to good at all; the best thing i could suggest is he get a good lawyer to reduce some of the harshness on his sentence.
