2. What state of mind were you in when you were tweeting "Seriously, come get me fuckers?"
The picture of a cannabis bud on the linked blog post could potentially answer two of these three questions (maybe all three, depending on your POV).
Ah, that clears it up. Good catch!
Tyler, I've been in a similar situation and truly, without a doubt, the price of a good lawyer is worth it. Please don't trust the system. The system doesn't care about your girlfriends stuttering, your book, your job, or anything else about you. They view your duty as a law-abiding citizen comes first above all else. You cannot assume they will give any leniency to your exigent circumstances. Never in trouble before, I also initially wanted to trust the system after I made a mistake, but after seeing what was to come of the system's 'benevolence', my parents thought wiser of it, pursued legal counsel and I am all the better for it. To the 'benevolent' courts we are just "numbers," not people. I now have an advanced degree, wonderful family and rewarding career with less than 3 days in a jail...not a prison, mind you, just a jail. Never, EVER, talk to a policemen, attorney, or officer of the court without your own counsel/attorney. I thought lawyers were the scum of the earth, but then they saved my life. Please, please, please don't turn yourself in yet, but pursue legal counsel to get the best situation you can. I cannot emphasize this advice enough. Please, seek an attorney first.
