Question

My husband was a passenger. They got pulled over and the driver had marijana in the car. The arresting officer was told by the driver that the drugs his and not my husband. Both of there bond is 120,000. The driver has bonded out. My husband was told if the driver does an affidavit they would let my husband go. I want to know if that is true and does my have a chance to bet this case if he doesnt get the affidavit

Answer
