Importation of Methamphetamine
N/AOUTCOME: Accepted to Military Diversion.
The client, a former military member, was caught at a border crossing with methamphetamine hidden in a false compartment in the car. The client also provided a recorded confession before consulting an ... attorney. This is not an uncommon scenario in San Diego. The client also had immediate family issues with his child, who was still in Mexico. At the beginning of my representation I successfully petitioned the Court to grant the client permission to travel to and from Mexico to assist with his child. This permission grow over the course of the case to the Court granting permission for the client to live in Mexico pending the outcome. Ultimately, the client wanted to take a plea offer. In place of simply accepting the plea the client and I applied for Military Diversion. Successful completion of the military diversion program could result in the charges either being reduced or dismissed. After crafting an in-depth application package and working with the client for his interview, he was accepted into the Military Diversion program.
