What can happen to me if I was charged with possession of drugs that was found in car that is not mine?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ross Scaccia (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Ross Scaccia, Attorney at Law
This is a credibility issue. If you had no guilty knowledge of the drugs being in the car, and you did not possess them 'constructively,' you are innocent. But, you must be believed. Your past record of a criminal conviction will not help you, but the real question is one of actual or constructive possession, by you. You did not have actual possession of the drugs, but you may have constructively possessed them, by knowing they were in the car, having access to them, and desiring use of them, at some later point in time Your guilty knowledge must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

Will my boyfriend go to jail for stealing a jacket under $200?

Answered by attorney Eric E Rothstein (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Rothstein Law PLLC
Given his record jail can't be ruled out. He faces up to a year (8 months with good time credit) assuming he is charged with a misdemeanor. He better retain a good criminal defense lawyer.

How do I petition to lower my sex offender level?

Answered by attorney Jared Altman (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared Altman
In NY we have the Sex Offender Registry Act (SORA for short). Unless you can get to the lowest level it won't make much difference. It's a civil, not a criminal, proceeding. I suggest that you hire a lawyer.
