My friend Carla is in trouble. When she was 17 she was caught smoking weed while driving. She and her ex-bf were riding around after they finished smoking and she swerved on the road and a cop pulled them over. He asked if she had anything illegal on her and she gave it up. She was in jail overnight. She still hasn't been convicted bc her lawyer kept pushin back her court date. Yesterday she was caught at a state park with weed in her purse. She lost her purse at a camp site and came back for it. The park cops found it and went through it. When she went to get it they asked if she had everything in her purse and she said yes. They went through her purse with her there and asked her who's weed was it and she said it was hers. She didn't go to jail but she has a court date. What would her sentence be? Would the first time she was caught be counted since she still has been convicted? Please be serious with your answers.

She needs to get a lawyer. I see some potential defenses for her.

Not an expert on this aspect of law, but I do know from being in the courtroom, that defendants get off easier when they state they need rehab.
