Question

My neice was staying with her father, he was arrested for growing pot. They charged her with visiting a common nuisance and maintaining a common nuisance. Can they charge both if she has no legal ownership of the property?



Answer

They would not likely be able to convict her of BOTH charges regardsless of the facts. Usually this would be filed with a prosecutor taking an "either/or" approach when it comes to resolution or trial. If she is a minor, she has a very good defense.
