    Default Disorderly Persons for Marijuana Possession

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey
    Recently I was arrested for possession which resulted in a disorderly persons offense. The only marijuana that was recovered was a little roach that got a few more people than myself that charge. This is my first criminal offense and I've been reading about PTI and conditional discharge, but it all has been on attorney websites that suggest to get an attorney for this. Unfortunately I cannot afford an attorney so I just wanted some insight on how this might turn out, and would I need an attorney to get conditional discharge. And also, I don't know if this matters, but I wasn't read my rights when I was arrested, don't know if that is a big deal or if they even had to.

    You do not need to be read Miranda just because you were arrested. I you cannot afford to hire an attorney, try to get a public defender appointed to you.
