Nov 16, 2010OUTCOME: The jury found my client not guilty
The police stopped my client for allegedly speeding in a construction zone on I-75. During a consent search of the vehicle, the police found crack cocaine in the gearshift housing of the vehicle. The ... prosecution used the amount of crack cocaine, its location, the way it was packaged, and the fact my client was driving the vehicle to charge my client with possession with intent to deliver - a felony. Slam dunk, right? Wrong. The vehicle was a rental and not even my client's rental but his friend's girlfriend. My client just so happened to be driving it because his friend lost his license and begged him for help. The prosecution had a duty to prove that my client knowingly possessed the drugs. However, I was able to show the jury that there was no way my client could have known the drugs were in the vehicle.
