You need to hire an attorney to represent you, ASAP. If the drugs belonged to the other guy, you are obviously not guilty of any new law violation. Based on your history, though, it is fairly unlikely that the DA will believe you. That is very likely a case that will have to be tried to a jury. If your attorney is able to get it dismissed, or get you acquitted, you have a much better shot in front of the Board of Pardons and Parole.
