friend arrested for possesion-distribution of coke while on probation

[starscream111]

a friend of swim was just arrested for possesion and distribution of cocaine(only 1g) while he\she was already on probation for a marijuana possesion charge(3 months) (under 50g) in the state of new jersey...also the person in question is still a juvenile and is charged as a juvenile

the cocaine deal went down at a public place where a person who was a CI made the purchase...swims friend only made the sale because the CI was nagging and nagging for weeks at school and over phone for the drug in question and has never made a sale like this before...any chance for entrapment.

Any idea what to expect? i would REALLY appreciate anyone who could add their input.

I'm afraid it could very well be a fight just to get him tried as a minor :/

for starters they (court) will revoke the three months of probation, that is now going to be jail time, and the new charge will have to be added to that , I would find out what kinda of deal they are offering, maybe a plea to plead guilty for the new charge and run it concurrent with the three months of the mj charge, meaning sentence are both being served at the same time , opposed to consecitive ( one after the other).

Remember I am not a lawyer, I just play one in jail.
