Liberty Law Group’s client was facing a minimum of 10 years, maximum of life imprisonment, after she was found as a passenger in a vehicle where drugs were located. Our client rejected all plea offers from the government and set the case for trial. At trial, Liberty Law Group attorney Seth Morris was able to demonstrate the gaps and blind spots in the investigation, including no finger prints, cell phone information, or incriminating statements from our client. This lack of evidence failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that our client had knowledge of the drugs located in the vehicle and the jury returned a verdict of “Not Guilty” to all counts.

Our client was charged with possession with the intent to distribute marijuana after a U-Haul rental vehicle they were driving was searched. Our client was assisting family members in moving from a state where marijuana was legal to a state where marijuana was illegal. Immediately after the arrest, the family members agreed to cooperate with the government and attempted to pin the blame on our client. Our client was facing up to 20 years in prison, and on the eve of trial, was offered a much lower level felony carrying a penalty of just two years. He rejected this offer, as he had nothing to do with the drugs located in the U-Haul rental. At trial, Liberty Law Group Attorney Seth Morris demonstrated that our client neither rented nor had access to the vehicle, there was no digital evidence, finger prints, or other DNA evidence linking our client to the crime. Additionally, digital evidence from the “cooperating witnesses” showed that they discussed transporting large amounts of marijuana to their new home prior to the trip. After a three day trial, the jury returned a “Not Guilty” verdict.
