People v. SA
Client was charged with Delivery of a Controlled Substance. Surveillance Officers claim to have witnessed our Client exit her vehicle and approach another parked vehicle. After a brief conversation, our Client gave the driver of the other vehicle some money and received several objects in return. Then our Client drove away. Believing a narcotics transaction had occurred, the Surveillance Officers radioed the Enforcement Officers who then pulled our Client's vehicle over. The Enforcement Officers claim that as they approached, our Client passed some paper object to the passenger in the car who then placed the object in her bra...all right in front of the Officer. When the Officer asked what was in her bra, the passenger said "it's just some blows," and then gave the Officers 12 tinfoil packets of heroin. The charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

We rejected the offers and took the case to trial. At trial we were able to prove inconsistencies in the child's and mother's stories.
