My 16 year old (passenger) was ticketed with mj and para. We never knew the pipe was there but we were near it and so they gave me and my friends all a charge for drug paraphernalia. I was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia because it was at a scene when a cop came up looking for a runaway. They also destroyed some property during the search. He let himself in, but he confiscated a box with lights in it and in a separate room they found porn magazines and skunk magazines. Recently, a cop came into my house to follow up on an investigation and he came into the house without a warrant searched and seized property that was not in the open. She has dropped loads of stuff that she said he did but did not, and wasn't brought to court. His ex only started this as he has moved on from her like and she does not like that at all. He has a son with his ex and a new girlfriend for the past year. My friend's solicitor wants him to plead guilty even though he didn't do any of the stuff she said. But she has fake documents and is unstable. My friend is in court and his ex made up a lot of stuff saying he beat her up and all, which he did not.
PLEADS NOT GUILTY MEANING TRIAL
If we plead guilty, will it be for a young offender or if we decided to fight it and the trial date is after his birthday, will he be charged as a adult if we lose? He turns 18 years old a couple of days after the court date. My son has to go to court on fraudulently obtained food and lodging in January. That is a valid excuse not to be in court isn't it? I mean, what will happen will they reverse the consequences for an accused for a second time for an OWI? What if you miss a criminal court date because of life altering reason, like you got in a car accident and they rushed you to the hospital.

Sometimes, the prosecution will reduce or drop a charge if the defendant, in exchange, provides the government with proof of another person's guilt to another crime. The prosecution may offer plea bargains for a variety of reasons. The defendant may change a not guilty plea to a guilty plea in exchange for a lesser charge associated with a lighter sentence.
Changes to not guilty pleas often occur when a plea bargain is made. Changing pleas of guilt and no contest are often looked at with prejudice. In fact, this is sometimes why a defendant may choose to enter a plea of not guilty at first. A person can revoke a not guilty plea during the course of a trial.
