Gert T 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2003 Hey I got some legal questions. I was awaken at about 4:30 am from my friend calling me from the police station telling me he had just got arrested for DUI, and wanting to bail him out of the county jail. I went down and bailed him out at about noon the next day. He's got three charges against him: DUI, possesion of marijuana, and not wearing a seat belt. A couple of questions. If he plans on just pleading guilty should he hire a lawyer? The lawyer wants 750 bucks up front so I don't know what his total cost will be. He told me he had 3 oz. or grams of pot on him. (Sorry I don't know my pot unit of measurements ) What will he get for that tyoe of possesion? He actually got pulled over in a White Castle drive-thru so his seat belt was off to get his wallet, should he contest that, or focus on the other two charges? Thanks legal beagles.

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted August 3, 2003 I'd say contest the seatbelt, since not much can happen in a DRIVE-THRU, and sometimes you need to take off your seatbelt for a moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted August 3, 2003 If you've got a DUI and possession charges against you, you're essentially fucked. Never mind the seatbelt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2003 (edited) big difference between 3 oz and 3 grams buddy. Well it was the smaller one, and I'm glad I didn't just guess! OK, I just found out it was 1/8 if that helps? Edited August 3, 2003 by Gert T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Beavis Report post Posted August 3, 2003 OK, I just found out it was 1/8 if that helps? Well, that's not a whole lot so they shouldn't get him for attempting to deliver, like they could if it was a larger amount. Get a lawyer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
