It really depends on a variety of things not the least of which is the judge. Nobody can predict the outcome.
Good Luck!

File a motion for reconsideration of the decision by citing that since admission was made by your husband, he must be rehabilitated instead of being incarcerated.

well now I am from WV--kanawha county---------if you are from here then hopefully he will get Judge I. Burger-she is very fair , but does not play games and will throw the book at them if need be. Morphine is illegal if not perscribed to the person taking it

If it is his first offense, im sure they will just fine him.
Write the judge in your county and explain he was in pain and needed the morphine.
Judges are humans too.
