Ok this what I think. The question of stealing power will be how long, months, years? I would be thankful that he lives in Cali and our jails are filled, that and there is no prison for first time drug offenders in this state now, usually no prison. If he does have money, pony up and get the best defense money can buy, within the county. I say this because the da will become much more skeptical of a court outcome if a good defense attorney is proving that it may be too costly for the state: filing multiple motions of suppression and calling into question the entire investigation will undoubtedly be advantageous for him. Sorry to hear this and please update us on how this case proceeds!
