– Medical Marijuana

The use of marijuana for medicinal purposes is a subject of much controversy. Supporters stand by the drug’s ability to ease suffering for people with terminal illnesses and debilitating conditions, while the federal government considers possessing, cultivating, or distributing marijuana a crime, regardless of whether it’s for medicinal purposes or not. The conflicting laws between the state and federal government make medical marijuana charges very confusing and have made it difficult when it comes to prosecuting individuals for medical marijuana crimes. As a result, many people with lawful prescriptions for medical marijuana are finding themselves arrested or in trouble with the law. Furthermore, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has urged the city council to place limits on the number of medical marijuana dispensaries.

– DUI

When a person drives a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the legal limit, he or she will be charged with DUI. In California, people will be charged with DUI if their BAC level reaches or exceeds .08. DUI charges can also be filed against a person who drives under the influence of drugs. This includes both illegal drugs and prescription or over-the-counter medications. When a drug impairs a person’s ability to safely operate a vehicle, he or she will be charged with DUI, regardless if the drug in question was legal or illegal.

– Criminal Appeals

If you have been convicted of a crime, you may be eligible to file an appeal. Appeals are usually sought when a defendant feels a mistake or error was made during the original trial. Errors or mistakes can be committed unintentionally during a trial in many different ways. Some examples of errors or mistakes that justify an appeal include:

* Evidence was brought against the defendant that should not have been
* Evidence that could have benefited the defendant’s case was unheard
* The defendant’s attorney committed legal malpractice
* The defendant’s attorney made incorrect or inappropriate arguments
* The wrong laws were applied
* The sentence was inappropriate for the charges being brought against the defendant
* The jurors were confused about their instructions or were given wrong information

– Expungement

An expungement is a process of removing or dismissing a conviction from a person’s criminal record. Pleas of guilty or no contest can also be expunged from a criminal record. When an expungement is successful, it will be as if the defendant had pleaded “not guilty” and the court ordered the case to be dismissed. It should be noted that an expungement doesn’t erase a criminal conviction. Rather, all of the records revolving around the defendant’s arrest and conviction will be sealed in a file, and the court will place a notation stating that the conviction has been dismissed. It should also be noted that not all convictions can be expunged. Under California law, felony convictions in which the defendant was sentenced to federal prison are not eligible for expungement. Furthermore, a defendant, regardless of the type of conviction, must have successfully completed and abided by all of the terms of their probation.
