HOW DOES A PROSECUTOR PROVE POSSESSION FOR SALES OF DRUGS IN VIOLATION OF HEALTH & SAFETY CODE 11351?
Prosecutors
look for indicia of sales, including but not limited possession of a
scale, empty baggies, currency, pay owe sheets, and so called "expert
testimony from a police officer."
Police
often use drug users as informants. These informants have a motive to
lie as they are offered to get their charges dismissed in exchange for
information or testimony against alleged drug sellers.
In many instances, the police officers try to make a sales case even when the facts do not support it. These drug sales cases
carry harsh penalties. Particularly those
involving sales and transportation. We are
very experienced in handling these type
of cases and can help you.
