My question involves criminal law for the state of: Nevada

My friend got caught with just under 12 ounces of marijuana in Nevada. A case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is being charged with only felony possesion.

My question is what is the penalty he is looking at? He is otherwise a decent kid who has been on his own for a long time...it wasnt even his stuff.

He may be able to drop it to a misdemenor by cooperating. Fines and probation he can live with, i understand it is a fine for a misdemenor possesion. He would like to avoid jail at all costs but doesnt have any money for a lawyer.

thanks for your help!!!
