I'd point out that it's not a bad idea to start with a PD and hire a lawyer if your PD isn't doing jack.  Often the PD will do enough work to save you thousands of dollars on the real lawyer.  It's also a great reason for an extension.

Court appointed lawyers are good for say......Speeding tickets but not going to do you a damn bit of good in a case like this.

Whoever said that take that bullshit somewhere else.

Well to anyone who is interested in how this played out..

He was charged with 2 felonies I believe and was sentenced to serve 90 days in jail.
With good behavior he should be out in about 54, since he already served a few days at the time of his arrest.

3 years probation.

Thanks for the update!  You probably mean jail instead of prison though.  People don't usually go to prison unless they get a year or longer.

That is terrible, but could have been a bit worse.

Do you know if he had any priors or violent offenses/felonies in the past? Apologies if you already mentioned that, I'm having a bit of trouble viewing this entire thread.

That's not so bad considering he had 5 lbs.  Would I be correct in assuming he got a lawyer for that?  The Jail time will suck, but with good behavior, he'll be out in less than 2 months.  Does he have the option for early release from probation for good behavior or anything?  A lot of people I know that get probation have the option of 1/2 time for good behavior; in this case, if he had that, I think that would be like a slap on the wrist.  I think the worst part about all this is now he's a convicted felon, but hey, he could be just fine even with that on his record.

Yea he could be out in like a month or less with good behavior or even less if there is over crowding.

I call absolute bullshit on the people talking about court-appointed lawyers.

YOU GUYS should remember that these people are in these courthouses all the time and when you hire some spiffy outside lawyer they will often have an attitude towards them. They are also far more likely to be able to strike deals for you considering they're working with the people who decide your fate every day.

Unless ya gettin' Cochrane, you might actually be better off with a court-appointed.

My 2cents, gathered information from lawyers in my family who have done both.





BULLSHIT!!! ON YOUR BULLSHIT.  They are way overworked to take any personal interest in your case.  my last public defendant got me a year of probation...except i should have gotten 6 months.  yeah i spent way more in probation fees then i would have spent on a lawyer that would have given two shits about my case.

Details on which spores are better for microscopic use is mostly just opinion. And besides, not really an appropriate question for the Sponsers Forum, So whichever one sounds cool to you.

I wish you luck in your first attempt to observe spores under a microscope.

Do you know if he got caught with it driving or was his place raided or how he was busted?

He was in a parking lot (private property) and they searched his car. Not sure on the exact details.

I was in holding with a guy who was going away for 18 months for traffic related tickets (speeding, driving on suspended license, etc. Not one DUI, though). So 90 days for 5lbs isn't bad at all.
