Why Hire a Drug Charges Attorney?
A conviction for any crime requires that the prosecution prove each element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Oftentimes, the evidence of a particular case does not meet that burden. Other times, evidence has been seized illegally and may not be used against the alleged offender.
An experienced attorney can assist you in determining what the prosecution’s evidence against you is and whether any of it was illegally obtained. We will work diligently to ensure your rights are protected and hold the prosecution to their burden of proof.
Connecticut Drug Laws
Connecticut has made a number of changes to their drug laws recently, so it is important that you understand what the current law is and how it may affect your case. Drug laws are governed by Connecticut General Assembly Sec. 21a. The laws apply to a wide variety of illegal drugs as well as prescription drugs. Possession of narcotics and hallucinogens is unlawful in Connecticut, as well as possessing prescription drugs without a proper prescription.
Penalties for possession range, depending upon the location of the offense, the type of drug at issue, the amount of the drug allegedly possessed, and whether it is a first offense. It is also illegal to sell or distribute narcotics and other controlled substances. Penalties for distribution also range based upon the factors listed above.
It is unlawful to use, possess, or deliver drug paraphernalia. Drug paraphernalia includes a wide variety of items, including those that are used to plant, grow, manufacture, ingest, or inhale controlled substances. Penalties range depending upon the location of the offense and whether a controlled substance was present with the paraphernalia.
