A:
I'm really sorry you're facing this difficult situation. Being in the ICU and questioned while sedated can complicate your case. It's important to remember that your rights are protected, even under these circumstances.
You should reach out to a legal professional as soon as possible. They can help you understand the implications of the subpoena and guide you through the process. Make sure to provide them with all the details about your hospitalization and the circumstances of the police questioning.
Additionally, gather any medical records and documentation that can support your case. This evidence can be crucial in addressing the allegations of felony possession. Take care of yourself and lean on trusted friends or family for support during this time.
