Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
2 Criiminal misdeameanors
I have been offered a deal of Deferred Entry of PLEA on both counts. According to my lawyer this is a good deal. Is this a good deal? Or should I go to trial? I am protected by the law under Prop 215, but there is a resisting arrest charge.

Normally, if you are qualified medical marijuana patient under Prop 215 and there is no dispute that the amount you possessed was under applicable limits, DEJ would NOT be a good deal as your case should simply be dismissed.
Your decision should turn on the strength of the resisting arrest charge. If you would lose, it might be worth it to have it dismissed in exchange for DEJ. Main problems with DEJ is that you would be on probation for 18 months and would have to attend classes. However, at the end, the case would be entirely dismissed and off your record.

It is impossible to tell if this is a good deal or not without seeing the police reports and knowing more about your prescription and physician. Therefore, I would ask your lawyer to explain why it is a good deal. S/He would probably know better than anyone on this board.
