Hello Jennifer,
In Kentucky, drug trafficking charges can be severe but defenses exist. If items are used for legitimate purposes and meth was planted or unknowingly kept, it could be a possible defense. However, it's essential to consult a local attorney for precise advice.
If the evidence in my dresser was found even though i did not consent can they stull use it in cohrt
In Kentucky, evidence obtained through an unlawful search may be excluded from court. However, exceptions exist such as if police had a valid warrant or probable cause. Consult a local attorney for detailed advice.
My husband did consent i did not
Did the police obtain the consent for the search from your husband while you were present? This is important as it determines the legality of the search and the admissibility of the evidence in court.
I was at home and he was confronted vy police down the road and apparently told them they coukd search out home when they came in i let them know i do not consent but they searched any way
In Kentucky, if one occupant consents to a search but another occupant refuses, the search can potentially proceed. However, the specifics of your case need to be examined by a local attorney.
Can you explain this to me
In Kentucky, when two people have equal control over a property, if one person consents to a police search, it may be legal even if the other person refuses. However, individual case details can vary this rule. It's best to consult a local attorney for more specific advice.
I need to know the specifics on this law so that i know where i stand and my attornry is suopkse to xontact me which has not done so
Sure Jennifer, the law I'm referring to is based on the "Co-Occupant Consent Rule," established by the Supreme Court in a case called 'Georgia v. Randolph' (*). Here are the specifics:
- If two people have equal control over a property, one person's consent to a search can override the other person's refusal.
- However, if both occupants are present and one refuses while the other consents, police cannot search the property.
- The specifics can differ based on individual circumstances.
Please consult your attorney for more personalized advice.
Well see inwas there and they searched anyway
In the 'Georgia v. Randolph' case, the court ruled that a search is unconstitutional if both occupants are present and one denies consent. Your presence and refusal might make the search illegal. Discuss these details with your attorney when they contact you.
What about in my husbands case they are trying to use the evidence they found in my dresser agiant him . What are the chances of him having to hi to jail
It's difficult to predict outcomes without knowing all case details. Factors influencing his chances include:
- The legality of the search
- If the evidence directly links to him
- His prior criminal record
It's best to discuss this with your attorney.
Thats whybim asking you because i cant get an attornry to yktalj to me
I understand your situation, Jennifer. As a non-attorney I can't predict outcomes, but your husband's defense can challenge the legality of the evidence. If it's ruled inadmissible, it may favor his case. Please continue to reach out to local attorneys for advice.
