Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I'm not following your question. Is this 'someone,' someone you know (or you) or a story you heard about? My first thought is whatever you heard or think you know is surely not the whole story.

If you believe all charges were dismissed (by saying 'get off') then that is possible especially with a successful motion to suppress. Otherwise if acquitted by a jury, of course that can happen in any case - it is totally unpredictable what a jury will do. If you're asking how this person can best reduce the impact of this mess, it would be to hire a good attorney who routinely practices in the court where this case is being heard or will be heard.

I hope this helps. If not, post with more details. This doesn't make a lot of sense as written, not to me anyway. Good luck.

It sounds like you're posting for somebody else. There is so much more to this case than your quick summary. Whoever this person is - they're looking at substantial time in custody with the strike(s) on their record and the new allegation of what I assume is possession for sales.

There may be a motion to suppress the evidence found in the motel room, but without seeing the repors, there's no way to know for sure.
