This may surprise you, but I'm thinking...

So in other words my friend got screwed over.

I don't think the Judge will all the modification because the DA has already tried to play H against W saying H signed some deposition stating something he did not. My gut tells me its a witch hunt since the person who was actually transacted the drug deal finked out my friend and his wife and got off with a warning.

Thanks for the info.
Welcome back, SJ. I'm voting for your topic on "how to choose a lawyer"..... Could be very interesting and helpful information for many. Kisses.....
