Will I get in trouble if my friend was found in possession of my anabolic steroids?

Thomas J Tomko
Answered by attorney Thomas J Tomko (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Thomas J. Tomko, Attorney at Law
Ordinarily, in Michigan, a person driving a vehicle can be charged with possession of anything in that vehicle. Therefore, your friend can be charged. You should seriously consider whether you will go to court and make admissions. This will implicate you, and you could end up with a criminal record. Further, both you and your friend could end up with convictions. There is no guarantee that they will simply drop the case against your friend if you make admissions of possession. You should hire an attorney to represent you and discuss all of your options with the attorney before you do anything.

MCR 6.502 provides "Except as provided in subrule (G)(2), regardless of whether a defendant has previously filed a motion for relief from judgment, after August 1, 1995, one and only one motion for relief from judgment may be filed with regard to a conviction. The court shall return without filing any successive motions for relief from judgment. A defendant may not appeal the denial or rejection of a successive motion."  Thus, if your husband has already filed a Motion for Relief from Judgement (6500 motion) and it has been heard by the court and denied, I don't believe he can file another one. You do not say when the motion was filed or heard, but MCR 6.509 says, you may file an Application for Leave to Appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals if you do so within 6 months of the denial of the first motion.
