Results Tell the Story

      A young man with no history in Oregon to pick up marijuana was profiled by his age, his car and, most tragically, for being Black. He’s got some pot and some cash so he ends up indicted for multiple felonies in a place far from home.

      Thanks to our team, the help of our paralegal, new law from the Oregon Court of Appeals and the timely filing of a motion to suppress, our client remains without a record and will have his money returned to him.

      That’s a good day at the office but it is hard not to remember what our client went through to feel elated today. Demeaned, handcuffed, left penniless and without a phone. Justice prevails but it has not righted this wrong - we need reform so that we don’t have police that could be solving violent crimes working on marijuana interdiction and ruining the lives of our young people without providing any additional protection for society by seizing a little MJ.

      Money Laundering
      Theft
      Our client, an Italian immigrant from New Jersey, got pulled over for having Jersey plates and a nice car but being young and looking unconventional for whomever the officer thought would reasonably hold wealth. That these details become part of reasonable suspicion hints at the systemic racism and economic disparities in our criminal justice system.

      The officer smelled pot and found cash, confusing at best since there was no pot in the car and quickly our client’s funds were seized, his car towed, his phone taken and he was indicted. Being so far from home and having to find his way, our client managed to keep his chin up and kept his job back in Jersey.

      For a year and a half we worked through the details, the fears and the anxieties. We drafted and filed a motion to suppress that was continued by covid-19 and today, the State dismissed the case, returning the funds and freeing our client from becoming a felon. It makes no sense to me why I make money off of marijuana representation when the people have said it should be legal. This is yet another example of how we still need systemic reform to end the war against Willie Nelson and friends. We’ve got plenty of real struggles we can fight instead.

      “If you really want to get along with somebody, let them be themselves.”

      Theft

      The beginning of another week brought more positive outcomes. Another case of a young man from out of state who was targeted for being in a rental car.

      His Colorado license, which was valid, and his supposed carotid artery pulse during a traffic stop led to extensive questioning about his travel plans. The officers ran a K9 over his car, felt they smelled marijuana and searched the car, finding a large sum of us currency in a bag in the back. They seized his money and his phone, searched his car without consent, and cited him for a non expungable felony.

      Thankfully, we filed a motion to suppress the evidence and the Oregon Supreme Court helped us out with new case law and our client’s case has been dismissed and his funds will be returned.

      Yet another reminder that we still need more criminal justice system reform in the area of marijuana interdiction - and that we should stop choosing young men we don’t think deserve to have privilege to search, seize and indict. Happy to have started off the week with another one - and so thankful to my client, my paralegal, our team and to the Supreme Court.

      Yours,

      Delivery of MJ, Possession of MJ, Money Laundering, Crime Forfeiture
      Drug Crimes

      Every one of these cases takes a piece of the soul of any caring defense attorney who accepts representation or is appointed on one. The memories of the clients, their families and lives, the facts of their cases, the experts and detectives, the child records, and the psychological evaluations occupy space in our minds until we pass.

      In this case, our Client was indicted on an accusation of sexual abuse that would have led to a minimum 25 year sentence and a maximum of life. He and his family insisted that he was truly innocent and tracked the history of the accusation, showing ways in which it morphed and conflicted with other evidence.

      Lost, scared and ripped away from his family almost 3000 miles away, our Latinx client was left in jail in Southern Oregon to hire attorneys that would try and save his life. We had to vigorously argue bail to get it to an amount where the sale of the family home would cover the costs, something that most people simply cannot afford or do - and something that greatly hurt our client and his family.

      We retained four experts and an investigator and poured through thousands of pages of child welfare records, psychological reports, police reports and other documents. Utilizing the information from our client's family and the insight of the experts, we were able to put together a compelling presentation to the DA. He is dismissing the case, returning our client to his family and saving his future.

      The scars will not quickly fade from their memory of the year he was ripped away and taken to jail, forced to live in a faraway state and only call home. And they will also remember the injustices that happen so often, those that we warned him might happen to him, those that convict innocent people and lock them away. I am grateful to have gotten such a dismissal - but I am also in mourning over the injustices that happen every day and those that are a part of my client's history forever.

      "Some things you must never stop refusing to bear. Injustice and outrage and dishonor and shame. Not for kudos and not for cash. Just refuse to bear them.”

      Drug Crimes

      Another traffic interdiction stop of an out-of-state car on Interstate 5. With a California license and a Washington car, things quickly turned into an interrogation.

      My client’s hands, his carotid artery, and his passenger led to him being told to exit the vehicle. Having been from near Fresno, the Trooper assessed he was from a HIDTA, a law enforcement term for High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas, meaning they believe there is reasonable suspicion based solely on where a person is from. They asked critical questions about his travel plans and mentioned that he would pause.

      After refusing consent to search his vehicle, officers ran a K9 over the car and found methamphetamine in the car.

      Today, our motion to suppress the evidence and dismiss the case was conceded by a fair prosecutor prior to a hearing. Our client has inexorably bettered his life in the meantime with personal growth and this will help him move forward with a little grace.

      “I have had to experience so much stupidity, so many vices, so much error, so much nausea, disillusionment and sorrow, just in order to become a child again and begin anew. I had to experience despair, I had to sink to the greatest mental depths, to thoughts of suicide, in order to experience grace.”
