Defense Strategies in Misdemeanor and Felony Marijuana Cases
Your defense does not end with determining whether you were in possession of marijuana. These cases involve complex procedural and evidentiary processes that must be followed. Important questions need to be asked and then answered during this process, including:
- Was the chemical analysis done correctly?
- Was the drug on your person or under your control?
- Did you know the nature and character of the substance?
- Was the search and seizure legal?
