State of Ohio v. Timothy S.
Jun 03, 2015OUTCOME: Plead to lower charges; 2 years incarceration.
Mr. S was charged with a violation of ORC 2925.04, the illegal cultivation of marihuana; a second degree felony that, along with other charges, could have put Mr. S in prison for up to 13 years. By ... successfully fighting the admissibility of certain evidence in a Motion to Suppress hearing, Mr. S' prospects at trial were greatly improved, and eventually the prosecutor in his case agreed to take Mr. S' plea with a recommendation for the minimum possible sentence. After a year in prison, Mr. S will be eligible for early judicial release. A significant reduction considering the time that he could have faced on these charges.
