Uncategorized Contraband Case

We are currently handling a federal criminal case involving some really unique sentencing issues.

The contraband in question is a THC dewy-like substance (used for “vaping”) that the federal government really does not know how to categorize.

The category that this substance is placed in seriously impacts the amount of the sentence the defendant is facing.

There is a fair body of law that holds that if there is “ambiguity” in how a criminal sentence is interpreted, that ambiguity is to be construed in favor of the defendant – and against the Government. Stay tuned on this one as well.
