Q: My son was arrested because he had his prescription meds in his pocket. He has proof from Dr. that he is prescribed
Will it be enough to bring proof of the prescriptions to court to have this dismissed? Will a court appointed attorney be able to handle?
A: Of course his court-appointed attorney can handle this. And it's considerably more complicated than your son just bringing proof of the Rxs to court. Have him turn over those prescriptions to his attorney. I hope you get on top of this very quickly because it's possible that the lawyer can present this evidence to the prosecutor and/or the Grand Jury so your son might be able to avoid being indicted altogether, thus winning his case(s) without ever having to go to court at all. Good luck! And, by the way, why are you asking this question rather than your son?
