Possession with Intent Cocaine-Probation
Young man charged with felony possession with intent-cocaine 5 to 15 grams. He admitted guilt to the police during a video interview. After receiving an offer from the State to plead guilty with a reccomendation of 6 months jail, the man fired his first lawyer and hired Attorney Griessmeyer. The prosecutor indicated he would not make any different offers than he already made. The young man elected to have an "argued sentencing" and leave the sentence up to the judge. Attorney Griessmeyer reccomended probation and no jail while the prosecutor reccommended 3 months jail regardless of any treatment programs. The judge imposed 3 years probation with 3 months jail, but stayed the jail pending successful admission into and completion of a treatment alternative program.
