Massachusetts gun and drug charges have been dropped against a 30-year-old Worcester man after a judge tossed out evidence he ruled had been unlawfully obtained by police, the Worcester Telegram reported.
An experienced Worcester, Massachusetts defense lawyer should represent anyone facing Massachusetts weapons charges, drug charges or other serious criminal charges in Worester Superior Court. An experienced Worcester defense attorney can sometimes use search and seizures laws in Massachusetts drug cases to get evidence dismissed.
In this case, the defendant was indicted in 2008 on 30 firearm and drug charges after a police raid that authorities say netted heroine, cocaine and two caches of loaded weapons.
An Assistant District Attorney said the charges were dropped after the defense won two motions to suppress evidence, noting the remaining evidence was not sufficient to obtain a conviction.
The Worcester police vice squad and SWAT team conducted the raid after obtaining a search warrant. The defendant was not home and officers arrested him before an arrest warrant had been officially prepared and issued. The judge threw out evidence found during the arrest, including heroin and ammunition. The judge also ruled evidence found in one of five garage units was inadmissible because the warrant had not specified which garage unit was to be searched.
