The police will always charge all three people in the room with possession. This gives the prosecutor leverage so that the other people will testify against the person in possession. A very effective tactic. You shoul;d get representation and negotiate a deal so that the charges against you are dismissed. Please call to discuss. Ed Dimon, Esq. 732-797-1600
