| What state was this in? We can look up the predicates for that charge in the state, and then be talking more coherently about what might have happened here. Thanks! I'm guessing North Dakota? That's 3 states away from Chicago on the only Amtrak route from there to Portland. Were the charges federal? Did North Dakota (or whatever) police intercept him, or a DEA TFG? |

| ▲ | zoklet-enjoyer 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | You can read my comment history. It's right out in the open. Why would guidelines say not to look at it when it's right on the profile? Lol He got on the train in ND. A drug task force illegally searched his bags and arrested him in Portland. I believe it was all state charges from a state agency working with the DEA. I'd have to ask because I don't remember the details. This was like a decade ago | | |

| If your cousin was actually innocent he should sue his lawyer for malpractice. The facts as you state them don't support any criminal charges, and any competent lawyer would be immediately aware of that and recommend against pleading. |
