TYPES OF DRUG CRIME DEFENSES

Some of the many different types of defenses that are used to challenge drug charges include:

  • The defendant did not have clear possession or control over the drugs.

  • The defendant had a legal prescription for the drugs, such as for medical marijuana.

  • The defendant committed a lesser offense, such as possession for personal use as opposed to possession with intent to sell.

  • The drugs were obtained through illegal search and seizure by law enforcement.

  • Law enforcement officers used entrapment to make the arrest.

We know how to find weaknesses with prosecutors' claims and evidence. Sometimes, the evidence is simply not strong enough, such as when there are other people who had access to the drugs in question or when there are conflicting statements about the defendant's alleged crime. After you are charged with a drug offense, do not simply assume that you will be found guilty. There are oftentimes criminal defense tactics that you can use that you might not even be aware of.
