Dougherty Drugs case dismissed after we showed an equal access defense
A group of men were traveling in a car. The car was pulled over and drugs were found. All of the occupants were arrested. Although several plea offers were made, we declined to accept them and insisted on a trial.

After several years, the state finally agreed and dismissed the case.
