Q: Facing jail after failing rehab terms, is dismissal possible?
I was pulled over for not using a turn signal, and they brought a K9 to the stop. They found an empty bag and a broken pipe and claimed there was one-tenth of meth. I was arrested, paid to get out, and signed a deal for rehab and three years probation with drug tests. I spent 15 days in the rehab but got kicked out for "not doing good enough" because I was pacing in meetings due to medical problems. The court originally assigned 30 days of rehab, and if not completed, I face jail time. The rehab provided no evidence or documentation for my dismissal. My lawyer hasn't taken much action and says I'm going to jail. I have court tomorrow. Shouldn't this have been thrown out?
A: No. It should’ve not been thrown out bc you failed to complete. Most likely you will get ad neither chance and not go to jail.
