Case Result:
I.S. and his wife were arrested and charged with Trafficking Marijuana in violation of Fla
Stat. 893.135(1)(A)(1), Possession of a Controlled Substance where a Minor is Present in
violation of 893.1351(3) and Grand Theft. It was alleged that I.S. and his wife were growing a
large number of marijuana plants at their home. If convicted, they each faced a 15-year
mandatory sentence. First, we convinced the State to drop the Grand Theft charge. They agreed
to do so. We then convinced the State to drop all the charges against the wife. I.S. agreed to
enter into a cooperation agreement with the State in the investigation and prosecution of other
drug offenses. Prior to sentencing, we met with the State and were able to convince them that a
sentence of probation was appropriate. At sentencing, I.S. was sentenced to a term of probation.
