U.S. v. K.R. Supervised Release Violation - TIME SERVED and NO ADDITIONAL PROBATION
January 2018
Client was on federal supervised release after serving prison time. He subsequently tested positive for drug use and was charge with Unlawful Wounding, Abduction By Force, Felony Assault and Battery in state court. He was alleged to have submitted a diluted urine specimen as well as having another positive drug test. The government forcefully argued the veracity of these allegations during client's detention hearing. Ms. Carmichael immediately began a robust investigation that uncovered gaping holes in the government's assertions. At the same time, Ms. Carmichael continued pressing a strong mitigation case. The government eventually capitulated and agreed not to seek any additional jail time and no additional term of supervision.
