My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia
I, along with many friends, went camping in the north Georgia Mountains in a national forest. That evening while we were conversing around the campfire, a team of federal and DNR (Department of Natural Resources) officers crept up on our campsite and watch our activity for about one hour. They directly observed me, along with three others, smoking marijuana away from the rest of the group. At that time, a state DNR officer detained us while the federal officers crept up on the remaining group of people near the campfire. The DNR officer who detained me along with the others confiscated approximately one gram of marijuana from my jacket pocket. He then wrote all four of us a state misdemeanor possession of marijuana citation. The federal officers however, wrote about twenty consumption of alcohol by a minor citations, seven misdemeanor possession of marijuana citations, and fifty littering citations and dispersed them among the others in the group. This is my first time being involved with the law and I have no criminal record at all. My question is, how likely would it be (with the right representation) that a judge would drop the misdemeanor possession charge and possibly lower it to disorderly conduct? I have research the first offenders conditional discharge program and although it is better than the alternative, I would like for the charge to be lowered to something else all together. I know that in the eyes of the law, I look like a pretty bad person. In all actuality however, I have only been involved with marijuana twice before.
