Charges of possession with intent to distribute a class “B” substance as a second and subsequent offense, conspiracy and school zone violation dismissed on the day of trial

Quincy District Court # 07-4879. The defendant, a Quincy man was charged in August of 2007 with possession with intent to distribute a class “B” substance as a second and subsequent offense, conspiracy and school zone violation. The nature of the charges mandates Superior Court jurisdiction and a minimum mandatory three (3) year sentence to state prison plus and additional two (2) year mandatory sentence for the school zone violation. Prior to the day of trial Attorney Neyman succeeded in convincing the prosecution to keep the case in the district court and refrain from indicting the case. Accordingly, that portion of the possession with intent charge alleging “second and subsequent offense” was dismissed. Also prior to trial, Attorney Neyman investigated the matter and learned that the alleged violation was not within one thousand (1,000) feet of a school zone and the prosecution agreed to a dismissal of that count in the complaint as well. On the day of trial our office succeeded in having the remaining charge dismissed.
