My boyfriend, 25 years old, was arrested a few months back cuz his "friend" left Marijuana in his car. The cops told my BF that if he would tell who it belonged too, they would charge him with intent to deliver. And so that is what happened. His trial is coming up in a few weeks and his Public Defender doesnt seem to know what he is doing. The PD could have gotten him into a program and 6 months probabtion, but during the first hearing, worded things the wrong way. So, no program. He now has a change for 2 years probation or 2 years prison time. He wants to ask for a new PD, but is afraid of what may happen if he does so. He has no prior record, nothing but speeding tickets.
He got a call from some guy in reference to a PreTrial Interview. He's a parole/probation officer. Does this mean probation looks good in his case or is this just a manadatory thing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
