Criminal Defense Law Answers
I would need some more facts; for instance, Why did you give your friend the pill? What did your friend tell the police? Did the officer see a monetary exchange? Feel free to give me a call @(856) 753-1893 if you would like to discuss the matter further.
Far more information is needed, but you must be extremely careful because, if what you're saying about having been in prison for the same thing is true, you are now in a mandatory extended term position. Basically, you are exposed to double the normal jail time if you're found "guilty" by a jury. For starters, I need to see the discovery and the grand jury transcript. Call me at either (732)932-7226 (office) or (732)710-0004 (cell).
