Woman Found Not Guilty of Drug Trafficking, Other Charges

Our client was charged with an ungraded felony count of drug trafficking, and ungraded misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance, an ungraded misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana, and an ungraded misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia. Prosecutors made a decent plea offer for the drug trafficking charge, but our client was adamant that she was innocent.

Our client was in a precarious position. She had to admit that she possessed marijuana and possessed drug paraphernalia while at the same time arguing for a not guilty verdict for the more serious charges. If convicted, she faced a mandatory sentence of 1 to 2 years.

We took our client’s drug trafficking case to trial. After presenting our evidence and arguments, a jury found our client not guilty of drug trafficking and possession.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
