    Default Will You Get a Criminal Record for Marijuana Possession

    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.

    Default Re: Will This Go on My Record

    In the state of North Carolina, possession of less than 1/2 oz. of marijuana carries a penalty of a $200 fine and a 30 day suspended sentence. First offenders often end up with no record.

    You'll want an attorney present to help you negotiate to keep your record clean. We're not in the business of calculating "chances" here - that's not the way court works. There's no way to tweak your "odds", you can only show up with your evidence and someone to persuasively argue on your behalf.
