Case Dismissed in Prescription Drug Case

In this case, our client was charged with a felony charge of unlawful possession of drugs. In the arrest report, LAPD officers claimed to observe a drug transaction between our client and the co-defendant and thereafter recovered Vicodin. At the time of the preliminary hearing, Michael A. Goldstein presented evidence of a valid prescription which cast doubt on the observations made by law enforcement. Michael argued that this negated any need for our client to have to purchase drugs illegally and the charges were dismissed.
