My client was charged with illegally possessing a firearm for having a handgun when going through security at the Tulsa airport.

OUTCOME: Case Dismissed
My client was just driving through Oklahoma with his legally obtained medical marijuana from Arizona when a traffic stop led to the police finding it. A felony possession charge was eventually filed be ... cause he had a prior marijuana conviction from Arizona. I filed a Motion to Quash early on (asking the judge to dismiss the case) because the Oklahoma statute clearly says that you cannot possess CDS in Oklahoma unless it is obtained pursuant to a prescription or order from a practitioner. This was denied. I asked for a necessity jury instruction during the trial. Denied. A necessity instruction tells the jurors that they can find the defendant not guilty if they believe it was necessary for him to violate the law. The jury panel was surprisingly very anti-marijuana. Even the DA said she had never had such a jury panel that was so anti-marijuana. My client testified about why he used medical marijuana and how it helps him and how it allowed him to get off pain pills that caused him terrible side effects. He testified he was just passing through Oklahoma on his way to Ohio and how he could not be without his medication for more than a day or two. After about 4 or 5 hours of deliberation, the jury came back and found my client NOT GUILTY of possession of paraphernalia but were unable to reach a verdict on the count of possession of marijuana. Therefore, a mistrial was declared on the possession charge. This case was eventually dismissed, and we did not have to try the case again.
