Question

"Hello, I was recently arrested for a misdemeanor possesion of marijuana, and a few weeks later I was then arrested for misdemeanor shoplifting.

I was wondering what I can do to make the best of this situation and what the outcome would be as far as sentencing will go since the trials are on separate days."

So if I do pretrial diversion or go on probation for in the first trial for the minor possession of marijuana how much and if/so in what way will that effect the sentencing in the second trial for misdemeanor shoplifting?

Also the police department offered a deal where they would drop the charges if I report a criminal; can they legally do this?

Answer

The answer has NOT changed since the last time you posted on this site (and it is hugely unwise to post details of a criminal case on a site that prosecutors and police can read). You need a lawyer NOW and your new post makes it apparent you are doing the one worst thing you can do - speaking to the police without counsel. Get a lawyer and do not post about the case where your prosecutor can read it.
