Marijuana DUI- What is a level of THC Delta 9 that is considered high or a level of impairment in the eyes of the law? 1st DUI

Laws vary from state to state but in general operating under the influence if drugs does not require a certain level being present in the blood. It is the fact of their being present at all.

How much can one trust his/her criminal defense lawyer?

No, this is not a valid concern. An attorney is ethically required to do his or her best for every client, regardless of how big or small the case may be. Your concern, if true would be to suggest that your attorney was engaged in a conspiracy to sell you out in your case in order to get a better deal for other clients. That is ridiculous.

Can i be prosecuted?

You can potentially be charged with whatever crimes they may have committed under a theory of aiding and abetting. Get yourself an attorney and make arrangements to speak to the authorities, or the people at the restaurant. Normally, I don't advise doing this, but if you are on camera I think its going to look much better that you are trying to get ahead of this and are being cooperative. You should expect to have to make a statement to the police and perhaps testify.

When turning yourself in on a warrant do they issue a drug test?

They probably will not drug test you when you turn yourself in. I am assuming that you did not have a medical marijuana card back at the time the events leading to the charge arose. If that is correct, having the card now does not provide a defense. If you are convicted you will almost certainly be ordered as part of your sentence to not use drugs, and this will include marijuana.

What rights do I have if I am the victim in an assault and battery?

You have the right to appear in court, testify and hopefully justice will be done. You can sue him, however, even if you win your probably not going to collect anything. I do not believe you have a case against the housing authority.

If a judge sets a high cash only bond, is there any way to appeal this if you cannot afford it?

I agree with the previous answer. I would add that if the bind goes up, however, there really is no appeal. You can ask to have the bond modified but the standard of review is whether the lower court judge at the preliminary examination abused his or her discretion in setting the bond.

I know what the penalties for misdemeanor battery are in michigan, but what is a likely plea bargain

Contact the victims unit of your county prosecutors office. As a victim of a crime you have the right to be heard. However, you do not have the right to veto a plea bargain. Remember that prosecutors are charged with seeking justice. In the overall big picture what is just may not always be what a particular victim may want.

Can I drp charges on a third degree home invasion?

The state decides whether or not to file charges; drop charges; or, what kind of plea agreement to make. You should discuss the situation with the assigned prosecutor and let him or her know how you feel about the situation, and what you would like to see happen.

Student arrested - under a gram amt of pot at college dorm . Police said turn in names and will not press charges. How??

Here's the rub, this person has no guarantees. Everything is based on how willing one is going to be willing to trust the police. Normally, the police do not have the authority to enter into such agreements, however, as a practical matter if they don't forward the matter on to the prosecutor then obviously the prosecutor will never know. If this person has actually been arrested then the arrest will always show up in a record check, however, there may not be any showing of being charged and/or...
