More details to this question:
I am being charged with PWID and distribution of cocaine to an undercover officer. This is my first felony drug charge. I never talked to the undercover, my friend did but I gave him the drug. Me and my friend were both locked up as co defendants.
Hire a lawyer before you forget you have the right to remain silent and cop yourself out in open court. Remember, no matter what you say it will be twisted around and used against you later.
It is a very real possibility even for a first offense unless you can get it pled down to a lesser charge such as possession. You are also not eligible for 7411 with this charge either.
It is possible to do time on a first offense, but it is also possible to enter diversion program, recevie a deferred or a suspended. Obtain counsel at your first opportunity.
