"I Have Friends Who Did Less Time Than This for Murder": Navigating a High-Level Drug Trafficking Trial


North Carolina statutes provide harsh mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealers who possesses, transport or sell drugs above a threshold weight. In cases where the State has an interest in targeting high-level distribution, defendants might face the functional equivalent of a life sentence where the laws may mandate a sentence of years or decades in prison.

This session provides insight on navigating these high-stakes cases.
