Hi,

On the weekend, I was caught with 0.8g of cocaine and have to go to court. Was wondering what the likely outcome would be...

This is a first time offence and I have no other records with the police.

Depends on a variety of factors, too many of which to list here and any indication provided here would be speculation at best - Your solicitor would be the best person to provide you with an indication as to the sentence likely to be imposed.

If you're worried about a prison sentence, based on what you've advised, I don't think that would be a likely outcome at all.
