Child 8-12 Or Over 57 Inches Without Seat Belt
Child Under 8 Years And Under 58 Inches Without Carseat
Client, a young mother of four, was driving when her vehicle was stopped by police for suspicious activity. Police investigated vehicle and searched her person, ultimately finding contraband. Part of the contraband included one Percocet pill, without a valid prescription. Client was ultimately charged with Class B Drug Possession and two minor civil offenses. While the Commonwealth gave reasonable alternatives to avoid trial, Attorney Barabino and Client decided it would be in the best interest of Client to proceed with a jury trial instead. At trial, the state chemist was unavailable, so the case was consequently dismissed. Civil charges found "not responsible".
RESULT: Civil Charges, NOT RESPONSIBLE, CASE DISMISSED at Jury Trial
