I am being charged in the state of north carolina with possession of marijuana of up to 1/2 oz. Although i was the passenger in the vehicle, the driver and i are being charged with the same count. Since this is my first offense, and i do not want this on my criminal record, what do you think my chances are of going to court with or without an attorney? Also, the driver's cousin claimed the marijuana, and had the statement notorized.
