pre katrina drug charges in louisiana

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana.
I have a buddy that has/ had a marijuana charge in louisiana that dates back to before hurricane katrina hit. He has not been back to court but wedo know that the bond had been revoked and a bench warrant was issued pre katrina...The evidence room where the pot was stored was flooded and destroyed in a subsecuent oil spill during the storm and no evidence now exist.. We want to get these charges dismissed for lack of evidence. would it be possible to do this without being in physical custody of the state to file the motions.. Could the DA drop the charges. Or could they have already drop all cases with no evidence???????????????? need to find him a good lawyer to help also..

De la noche que me cubre, como el Hoyo ***** de polo a polo, doy las gracias a cualquiera que sea
Para los dioses puede ser mi alma inconquistable.
Cayó en el embrague de las circunstancias no he winced ni gritó en voz alta.
En virtud de la oportunidad de bludgeonings Mi cabeza es sangriento, pero unbowed.
Más allá de este lugar de ira y lágrimas Telares, pero el horror de la sombra y, sin embargo, la
amenaza de los años descubre, y se encuentra conmigo, sin miedo.
No importa cómo estrecho de la puerta, ¿Cómo cargado con castigos el rollo, yo soy el
capitán de mi destino, yo soy el capitán de mi alma. _William Ernest Henley en español

I appreciate Invictus as much as the next guy. What did you hope to accomplish with this post? Why would you post it in Spanish?

OP, the DA will likely not need to produce the Marijuana from the evidence room in the trial. The testimony of the officer, the arrest report, and even the logs from the evidence should be enough. The natural disaster that took the homes of so many people will not be your "friends" way out. Shame on you for even considering using the devastation Katrina caused to avoid answering to your charges.

To the cop

you are obviously not an attorney or at least not a defence attorney, the number of cases in orleans parrish that have been dismissed alone tells me that although you know the law you are failing to admitt that most courts will as they have throw such cases out. As you can well confirm numerous murderers have walked free on the account of that hurricane. I am only talking of a victimless crime you should not be so self richeous where as you most probable enjoy a single malt from time to time. Prohibition is the problem not the pot. As for me I am just trying to save my son, sorry that that is offensive to you. And I posted it in spanish to get your attention as you can see it worked. I would like if you answered my original question, i know, i know the ex DA Jordan said he could convict without the drugs under state law but we both know that with a well placed or should i say paid attorney that is highly unlikey and a waste of tax payers money to try expecially for pot, which will be legal in some states within a few years. So does a defendent have to be in custody or present to dismiss the charges????????thank you

The siezed evidence is not required for conviction, the lab results are enough. As far as getting the charges dropped, your kid will require the services of a local attorney, he should see one soon.

Also, we don't like folks coming here hiding the obvious:

I have a buddy that has/ had a marijuana charge

As for me I am just trying to save my son,

If you can't get your facts straight in your posts, how can anyone believe anything you posted here.

 

[makafelli]

ok

thanks racer for you non judgemnetal honesty. I did understad that the seized evidence was not required but also understanding that supressing such evidence is the standard defense in drug possesion cases and ususaly cases are dismissed.

lab reports

It is pretty much certain that no lab reports exist original nor copies for the lab was also 100 percent destroyed.

We can make this easy then. Yes whatever you feel should happen will happen.

Back to reality, your son is not going to have any charges dropped. There may be new charges against him for failing to show up for his scheduled court date and having his bond revoked. The case will need to go to trial in order for the DA to even review the case. In order for the case to be brought before the judge, your "son" will need to be present.

Judging by your spelling, you will not be able to afford a well paid attorney. In fact, if you could afford one you would not be on freeadvice.com trying to spin your little web of reassurance. The only thing that got my attention was a cold hearted illiterate that was trying to use the suffering of others to their own selfish advantage. If you are so sure the charges will be dropped why is it such a big deal that your "son" may need to return to custody?

Why would you post advice on a free advice forum when you hold in contempt the actaul persons you presume to help becuase they need free help.
For any American such as ownselves to judge others for taking advantage of the misfortune of others for ones personally gain, is a hypocracy. We as a people live as we do, because we take advantage of others misfortunes in our counrty and abroad. It is the fundementals of a capitalistic society.
Sorry you dedicated your life to an obviously failed drug policy. Being that there are more users today than ever and many of our best and brightest are robbed of an opportunity to shine for these same policies.But please stop bashing all the people who come to this site in there time of need or confusion....Use that passion to find solutions to the social disease of drug addiction. Stop avoiding solving this problem by hiding behind failed policies and screen names. Sorry my family memeber has messed up but other than that was an deans list student at Loyola and now he´s life is ruined and though I have no idea where he is, i do want to find a way that he can start to put his life back together. Sorry I do not spell up to your standard or use spell check does that exclude me and mine from advice here? If so be clear.....

Since you've chosen to be abusive to the people taking time to reply to you, it is doubtful you'll get any more feedback on this board.

On a side note: It's as if she's taking sentences from what she perceives to be "educated" sources and strings them together to make some kind of point. There is almost no continuity from one sentence to the next.

The literature posting in Spanish (now deleted) was inappropriate in that it had absolutely nothing to do with anything. It had to be copied and pasted since there were not any spelling or grammatical errors.

She's a bit too manic (and defensive) in her behavior right now to grasp the facts as they are being presented.

The drug policy has not failed and our best and brightest should be those who have the common sense to not destroy their minds with illegal substances. I am sorry that your "son" has decided to break the law and skirt his responsibility to answer for his actions. I am not bashing you as a person. I do not know you nor do I assume to know anything about you, like you have done with me.

I have deduced your level of education and general disposition from your posts. You have received answers to your questions many times now. You refuse to believe that your uneducated opinion is incorrect. This makes trying to explain your best course of action frustrating to say the least. Your poor spelling and grammar make it hard to understand exactly what point you are trying to articulate. If you do not know where your "son" is how do you propose to convey any information you may obtain from this site? Who do you think you are to tell me where my passions in life should be directed?

Use the key words posted below on Yahoo.

After that do a search on

John Mark Karr porn case

The only thing I can suggest is for him to hire an attorney before he turns himself in.
