Well that went really bad

I had court today for the recent trouble I got myself in. On my last court date i was offered a pretty good plea deal by the prosecutor and was hung up on weather to take a 5 year probation or about 6 months in jail. Well I went back to court today and the original deal was off the table and they presented me with a shitty deal. Instead of dropping my felonies to misdemeanors I had to plead guilty to one felony and one misdemeanor. I also won't be getting my vehicle/items back.
They put me in a tough spot and said if i didn't take the plea today, that it would be off the table and we would continue with a jury trial and if found guilty of could face more than 5 years in prison.
Long story short I took the plea deal today and i will be sentenced to jail/prison for one or two years depending on the judge and recommendations that follow.
This sucks.
If anybody wants to write me while I'm in there feel free to message me in the next week or two and I'll give you my information.

Yeah I spent over 3 grand on the lawyer so far. Very disappointed with the results and with him in general. Usually takes a week plus for him to call me back. Says one thing, does another

holy shit. I've never heard of them giving out a plea and taking it back off the table. Usually the standard procedure is to wait it out until at least the 2nd or 3rd plea.
I hope you don't mind me prying, but what were you charged for that they pretty much threw the book at you for?

Damn mate, I did some time a while back but it was only six months. I really feel for you but everything will be okay. I dont know if you have ever done time before but get as many good mates that you can to write. It will help you out a lot, you'll be looking forward to those letters and people who'll make you laugh and smile. Especially any mates that have spent some time in the joint.

I was originally charged with three felonies and one misdemeanor. I was just visiting some friends from out of state. Got caught with LSD, mushrooms, and weed. They charged me with a felony for each and called it delivering/manufacturing.

Hey PM me the information and when you should be there and all of that and I'll send you some letters. Thankfully, I've never been to prison but I have spent a lot of time in Jail. I hear prison is wayyyyyy better. If you are at a minimum security prison, based on your points, they have pool tables, xbox's... cigg.s on commissary, rec. two times a day, and you walk yourself back and forth from the dorm to rec. and the mess hall.
In my opinion, they fucked you pretty hard OP. The only thing you can really do now is count whatever blessings you have left... and you were blessed with NOT becoming one of those internet memes you see where some poor deadhead got life in prison for selling a hit of acid or some crazy shit.

Wow that's utter bullshit.
You can go rape some passed out girl behind a dumpster and get off after a few months, but you bring non-life-threatening 'drugs' into a super conservative state and BAM you're away in prison for multiple years, and then ruin your life while they're at is (future employment, renting, etc.)
I'm sorry man, this story just makes me more pissed at how unjust our justice system is.

Unfortunately I will not be able to receive your baking. But just some letters here and there would be really cool.

Makes me sick hearing this. The drug laws are immoral, unconstitutional and just absolutely disgusting. Hang in there man you'll make it through this. Just stay positive, and know you did nothing immoral or unethical.
If you don't mind me asking what kinda weight did they get you with? Also what state was this?

I was caught with about two sheets of LSD. Maybe half oz or so of mushrooms. And about an 1/4 ounce of weed and wax. I'd rather not say the state I was in.
Yeah it feels unreal that im really going to be losing a year or two of my life due to this. My lawyer had me convinced we were going to get the whole thing dismissed for an illegal search. I really regret spending all that money on him. Then it went to don't worry you will just have a lengthy probation sentence. And today it went to your going to jail and then when you get out your going on probation. I have a feeling the prosecutor would of gave me a similar deal with a public defender.

You should get the address info and allow someone to make a thread about it so that we can collectively bombard you with mail.
Sorry to hear about the harsh punishment. Could happen to any of us given the right circumstances. You've been dealt a truly shitty hand. Is there potential for early release?

So sorry to hear that man! Stay strong, keep yourself fit and healthy and you will hopefully still have plenty of time left when your free to live it up...

Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free
