Drug sales charges under California Health and Safety Code Sections 11351 and 11352 are serious felonies. Selling, transporting, or offering to sell controlled substances can result in 2 to 9 years in state prison, depending on the substance and quantity involved.
The prosecution often relies on circumstantial evidence to prove intent to sell, such as the quantity of drugs found, the presence of packaging materials, scales, large amounts of cash, and communications suggesting drug transactions.
Attorney Cocis has successfully defended numerous drug sales cases by challenging the prosecution's evidence of intent to sell, arguing that the drugs were for personal use, and questioning the reliability of informant testimony.
