when a case starts out a felony and pleads to a misdemeanor it still stays in federal court.
but hey, you're the expert, I'm just the guy who is living this nightmare. maybe you should've been my lawyer.
so yeah. there's that.
and for the record, it was a felony possession charge (over 29 grams is a felony and I had more than that, a lot more) that I pled down to a 28 gram misdemeanor possession charge.
