REDUCED | Sale of 5 Pounds of Marijuana, State v. Mr. B. (DMC No.7288) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR 2007-106013): Mr. B. was observed pulling up to an apartment complex and removing a duffle bag containing 5 pounds of marijuana from his car. Police were conducting surveillance on this area based on a tip by an informant. Mr. B. admitted that he was delivering the marijuana for a friend from California. Because the weight was more than 2 pounds, Mr. B. was facing a potential of over a decade in prison. Through pointing out various issues with the search and problems with the questioning in violation of Mr. B.’s rights, we were able to secure a deal for 2 years of probation with zero days in jail. In addition, he was allowed to transfer his probation to California (where he lived).
