Meth trafficking and distribution charges at risk of enhanced penalties after prosecution appeal

■ Overview of the case (facts) The client was charged with buying and administering methamphetamine and some distribution charges. In the first trial, the client was convicted of purchasing and administering methamphetamine, but acquitted of providing methamphetamine due to lack of corroborating evidence other than confession. The prosecution filed an appeal against the acquittal, and the client was at risk of an increase in sentence, so he sought professional legal assistance. ■ Case Issues (Case Features) The prosecution appealed the acquittal of the first trial's free supply of methamphetamine, creating a risk of sentence enhancement, and the case required a sophisticated legal review centered on the lack of corroborating evidence of the confession. In response to the prosecution's appeal, Onkang's team prepared a well-structured and professional appellate brief that accurately analyzed the law on the requirement of corroboration of confessions and specifically pointed out the key problems with the prosecution's argument.
