Drug Trafficking Charge Defense

Summary

In Florida, drug trafficking charges can be based on the total weight of a substance, including containers and liquids. To challenge this, you can argue that the weight should only include the substance tested positive, excluding the cup and liquid. Consider hiring an expert to testify on proper weighing procedures and seek legal representation to file motions to exclude improper evidence. Understanding the legal process, from arrest to potential appeal, is crucial. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
