Kodak Black has been facing legal trouble after being arrested last month on drug-related charges. However, new developments have emerged that could potentially turn the tables in his favor.
Key Takeaway
Kodak Black’s attorney has presented new evidence in the form of lab test results, indicating that the substance found in Kodak’s possession was prescription Oxy, not an illegal drug. This development has led to a request for the dismissal of the drug case against the rapper.
New Evidence Presented by Kodak’s Attorney
The rapper’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, has submitted legal documents claiming that laboratory tests prove that the substance found in Kodak’s possession was actually prescription Oxy, and not an illegal drug as alleged by the authorities.
Background of the Case
Kodak Black was apprehended by law enforcement on December 7, with officers asserting that they discovered him allegedly asleep at the wheel with white powder in his mouth. The police conducted an on-the-spot test, which they claimed indicated the presence of cocaine. Subsequently, Kodak was arrested and charged with possession, evidence tampering, and a traffic violation.
Defense’s Argument
However, the recent revelation of the lab test results has prompted Kodak’s legal team to seek the dismissal of the drug case. According to Cohen, the tests confirm that the substance in question was actually Percocet, for which Kodak Black possesses a valid prescription. As a result, the defense argues that the drug possession charge against Kodak lacks merit.
The court is yet to make a decision regarding the dismissal of the case.
