Convict Edd Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Im talking class A like coke. Are there any legal eagles out there who can settle a dispute? My cousins daughter (19 years old) has recently been busted for carrying class A. She went to a party in Suffolk somewhere and was caught by the local police with about 3 1/2 gram of coke on her. Cuz recons that because she states its percy shell get a warning or a fine at most. I said cos of the amounts she may go to prison. He thinks im talking rubbish. I think hes got his head in the clouds. Whos right? Its a first offence by the way but again i said that wont matter. 1st offence of 5th offence she could still go down. Am i right or am i just being a bit negative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 honestly, that sort of ammount can be seen as "with intention to supply" so there is a higher chance of her actually being convicted and locked up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, according to him his daughter is now on bail and the law are going for possesion with intent to supply for that reason. The amounts. She tells him that the copper actualy said they would like to go for personal with it being her first offence but the amounts wont allow it. Thats what got me thinking prison. Ive just got off the phone with him now, neither him nor her are taking this at all seriously. He even offered to wager me some cash on the outcome. I told him i wouldnt want to profit from his daughters misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well, if he's not even listening to the official word, then more fool him!! - they might be trying for intent to supply but it depends on what sort of mood the judge is in wether she gets off or not!! But regardless, I would have thought he would be more bothered with the fact she had the stuff in the first place, if it was my kid, I would rather they be selling and not using tbh!!

Mel's Mum Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 the amount would be classed as personal use and is definitely cautionable UNLESS she had said in interview that she was intending to share it with friends - then it would definitely be classed as intent to supply.

I told him i wouldnt want to profit from his daughters misery. Sounds to me like clink. In view of the amount, it's easy for them to argue in prosecution that it couldn't possibly be for 'personal use', and there's no doubt that she was in possession of it. CPS open and shut case if you ask me! http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsentencingcouncil.judiciary.gov.uk%2Fdocs%2FSentencing_Council_Drugs_Offences_EasyRead_PART_2.pdf&ei=Js5JULCRGInb0QXhuoDQCA&usg=AFQjCNEd5xvxMrU-igGMymxkWkoftZavGg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 1g is often enough to warrant charging with "intent to supply". Sentencing Guidelines look at 5g being the lower level for "intent to supply". Guilty of Possession of 3.5g means at least a fine with the threat of prison still being there. http://sentencingcouncil.judiciary.gov.uk/docs/Drug_Offences_Definitive_Guideline_final_%28web%29.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davyjones Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 She's 19 I'm sure a lot of people's daughters carry coke, a lot of people here on a high horse I wonder how many of you have kids that age. That much she would be unlucky to get sent down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
