A police car blocked me from exiting my storage driveway. My passenger will call her "L" tells me, "if they find this on me I will be deported". In her hand was what appeared to be weed. Next thing you know an officer is asking me to step out of my car. The officers asked if they can search my car, I respectfully said no. At that time her name comes back with a warrant. the officers asked me "is there something we will find in your car, we now have the right to search". I said "yes, passenger side". I got a citation.
I appeared pled not guilty, an asked for an attorney. Appeared again I couldn't afford an attorney, before you know my pre-trial is set and I'm alone.This whole time" L", Remember her has been telling me and a few others that she will appear with me and clear the whole thing up. I start doing some investigating, I found out who gave the weed to " L " her name Is " H ". " H " gives " L " the weed minuets before the police cited me. She has given me a written statement that she gave (L) the weed and I had no knowledge it was in her possession. Yes she is willing to testify even if it incriminates her. My mother met (L) for the first time (L) was trying to impress her or something, tells mom it was her weed and she would never let me pay for it thats how much she cares about me . I have a written statement and she is willing to testify. Not trusting " L " I had her served with a subpoena to attend, now she says shell pled the 5TH.
I've been doing allot of re-search thank God for the web and people like you. And I have prepared my defensive strategy would love some input. The 23RD I show up for pre-trial. knowing the prosecutor has to find the burden of proof to beyond the shadow of a doubt prove his allegations are fact. I will ask for a dismissal on the grounds That the alleged had no possession. They may find it amusing Imp sure the judge will over rule it. That's when I ask the judge if I may to help save allot of time show the court and the prosecutor new discovery you may wish to take into consideration. If the judge allows it I will give copies of the statements and make it aware the persons who wrote the statement are present and willing to testify. Hopefully the prosecutor will see that it wouldn't be worth trial and drop the case.
Am I just lame or could this work. After all we are talking about a jury trial over who had possession of weed you could fit in one of your nostrils for the lack of a better term.
 
You really need a lawyer and when you go to the next hearing tell the judge you requested a court appointed lawyer and have not received one. If you have not entered a plea yet, enter not guilty. You should be directed to see the court clerk or someone so as to apply for the lawyer and to determine if you qualify. Take some financial documents like your tax return and recent pay stubbs. If you qualify they should give you the name of the lawyer and it will be up to you to contact the lawyer and to do all the follow ups. He or she will not contact you. Also, you are not the alleged you are the defendant. Also if the pot was found in your car you were in possession. Doesn't matter that "L" put it there. Hopefully you told the officer at the scene that the pot belonged to "L" and if you did hopefully he put that in his report. Your "friend" screwed you and you are going down so get a lawyer ASAP.
