Marijuana Possession in New Jersey (CRIMINAL LAW & PROCEDURE)

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 11:00:00 GMT

My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey.

My boyfriend was arrested several months ago on a marijuana charge and was given probation. My boyfriend and two of his friends were arrested for trespassing into a house in West Milford, NJ. The house was under construction and they did not destroy anything, they found it open and went inside. I assume this arrest violates his probation. What consequences will this entail?

Thank you.

  • Yes, the arrest violates his probation.

    What happens now depends on his original sentence and the disposition of his PO. If he's a right bastard, your boyfriend may be looking at some jail time.

    Has he talked to an attorney?

    He doesn't have the money for an attorney, he's probably going to use the public defender. Is there anything he can do to somehow lighten his sentence or anything?

  • A public defender IS an attorney. Good heavens.

    We cannot answer your question about sentencing. He needs to discuss this with the attorney.
