Felony Drug Possession & Repeater Allegations

Result: Not Guilty Verdicts on Felony Cocaine and Paraphernalia Charges at Trial

Handled By: Attorney David K. Anderson

Summary: The client faced multiple high-stakes criminal charges, including Felony Possession of THC (Second and Subsequent Offense), Felony Possession of Cocaine (Second and Subsequent Offense), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia as a Repeater. Dissatisfied with his previous counsel, the client retained Chirafisi Anderson just two weeks before the scheduled trial. Attorney Anderson immediately conducted an exhaustive analysis of the case file to isolate critical weaknesses in the State’s evidence. The defense strategy faced a severe procedural hurdle: prior to the firm taking over, the client had already waived his right to a jury trial, leaving his fate entirely to the judge in a bench trial. Despite these constraints, Attorney Anderson successfully secured Not Guilty verdicts on both the felony cocaine and the drug paraphernalia charges. The client was only convicted on the THC charge, an outcome that was heavily mitigated by the fact that the client had proactively surrendered that specific substance to law enforcement at the time of the traffic stop.
