Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

my daughter had her boyfriend living with her and the house was raided. The police had a search warrant for him but nothing for her. He went to jail and now 1 year later they are coming after her for intent to deliver. She had no idea what he was doing. Now they want her to plea to a felony. Can they reduce to a misdamenor? How much time is she looking at if she pleas not guilty?

Very concerned parent

She needs to sit down with a lawyer and discuss this in detail. That sounds like a very complicated case. It's not unheard of that the state takes a year to file, but it is unusual. Could be that boyfriend gave some evidence against her, or that some informant did. But without getting the full story from her, I don't think any lawyer can give you any meaninful advice.
