Our client was facing federal drug distribution charges after being caught up in a large undercover operation where he was recorded selling methamphetamine to a confidential informant. He was staring down years in federal prison, but through a meticulous defense strategy, we were able to secure a resolution that resulted in a complete dismissal of the case.
The charge was 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846 – Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine. Federal agents alleged that our client knowingly participated in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy, and the case was supported by audio and video recordings of controlled buys. A conviction would have carried a lengthy prison sentence and devastating collateral consequences.
Our defense strategy focused on dismantling the credibility and methods of the confidential informant. We conducted a thorough investigation that revealed our client was only selling small amounts of his personal-use drugs because he was specifically propositioned by the CI. By highlighting these facts and creating substantial doubt about the government’s conspiracy theory, we placed the prosecution in a difficult position.
In a rare outcome for federal court, the government agreed to dismiss the case through a deferred entry of judgment, leaving our client with no conviction, no prison time, and a full dismissal of all charges.
