As a former Harris County Assistant District Attorney, I prosecuted drug cases involving misdemeanor amounts of marijuana to multiple kilo cocaine cases. Let me put this experience to work for you.
The 4th amendment is very important when it comes to drug cases. It says, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." The United States Supreme Court and lower federal and state courts have interpreted the 4th amendment to mean many different things. This line of cases will be very important in determining if the evidence seized in your case is admissible in court and if the State can proceed with your case. Did the police have a warrant when they seized the evidence in your case? Did they need one? Was the warrant valid? Do you want a lawyer who knows?
To prove you guilty of possession of an illegal drug, the law says the State must show affirmative links between you and the drugs. If they cannot do this, they cannot make their case!
You have options. Make sure you have a lawyer who knows them.
