Our Client was charged with Felony Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon. The Police raided our Client's deceased mother's house. They had a search warrant. They found holsters and ammunition in the front bedroom of the 1st floor. They asked our Client if there were any weapons in the house. Our Client explained that he had recently moved into the house after his mother died. Our Client told the Police that he resided on the second floor, but he knew his mother kept a gun for protection in a secret compartment in a footstool in the living room. The police searched the footstool and recovered a revolver. The Police claimed that our Client said "he kept the gun there for protection" so they charged him with its possession.

People v. AS
Our Client was on probation for a drug case when he picked up a Felony Delivery of a Controlled Substance - 1000 Feet of a School case. So our Client was facing a Violation of Probation and 4 - 15 years in prison if convicted on the new case. The Police alleged that our Client sold heroin to an undercover Police Officer during a controlled buy sting. The whole situation was under surveillance. Both the undercover buy officer and the surveillance officers claimed our Client sold drugs to the buy officer for $20 in marked police money. We were able to negotiate a deal with the prosecutors to reduce the charges and drop the 1000 Feet of a School element. This made the new case a Class 2 Felony which is punishable from 3 - 7 years in prison. However, this deal also made our Client eligible for Boot Camp. Our Client accepted this deal. The violation case was dropped and he will be out as soon as he completes the Boot Camp program!
