If you can afford an attorney sure you can fight it. Costs thousands of dollars. He paid at least $15k to get his case overturned. This is after spending a few days in jail and 2 years of court procedures. They expect you to just plea bargain and take a lesser charge and not fight it.
Not all states are equal. Court appointed lawyers tend to push plea bargains on you. If you want to get the charges expunged you need a professional that works specifically with those cases. That’s what he did.
There’s still something off about the story. That would be a slamdunk case that any lawyer would take probono.
The cops weigh the plant wet, but when it dries you lose up to 80% of the weight, not mention stems. With a single flowering plant, that’s usually enough for anything to stick.
So you buddy MUST have had something else if they got weighing the soil or plugs with it to stick. They’re scum, but there’s also policies to follow too.

You SHOULD get a state appointed lawyer. Did you buddy try and fight it himself or something?
