RICHMOND MARIJUANA POSSESSION DISMISSED

Our attorneys represented a client from Roanoke VA, who was in Richmond attending a concert at a popular local venue. The client was arrested for possession of marijuana in a nearby alley outside the venue. A small amount of plant material was recovered by the police during a search. The issue of the case was the admissibility of the plant material test results. We successfully argued that the Commonwealth Attorney and the arresting officer did not properly follow what the law required for the plant material test results to be admitted in our client’s trial. The prosecution could not prove a drug possession allegation without evidence of a positive test result in this case. Case dismissed.
