Q. Do I, the accused, have a right to have a copy of the discovery?

4 May 2021

A: That's a good question, this is an odd and frustrating area of the law. There actually are a number of laws and rules that prohibit your lawyer from just handing over (or copying) the discovery to you, without approval from the prosecutor's office that provided it. The discovery is, in a sense, just on loan to your attorney from the prosecutor, so the rules prevent that information being given out to anyone - you included. With the approval of the prosecutor you may be able to get a redacted copy, although that creates some work and delay. You also could make a public records request to the police agency that investigated the case, and get your own copy that way, although that would also likely have redactions.

Q. Okay I was convicted of felony drug possession a couple years back in washington and am still on community Custody

24 April 2021

A: If it was simple possession, then you should be eligible to have that conviction vacated immediately. The state supreme court recently struck down our possession law as unconstitutional and courts are vacating possession convictions. You should contact the attorney who represented you, or the court, or even the prosecutor's office to get that done. Here is a short blog post explaining what happened: https://www.kitsapdefense.com/blog/2021/february/did-drug-possession-just-become-legal-in-washing/

Q. With Washington state changing the law surrounding felony drug possession, is it possible to have a conviction reduced?

6 April 2021

A: If it was simple possession (felony or misdemeanor), then yes - it should eligible to be vacated. You should call the lawyer who represented you at the time, or maybe the public defense office for that court. Here is a very short blog post I wrote on the topic if you want a little more information: https://www.kitsapdefense.com/blog/2021/february/did-drug-possession-just-become-legal-in-washing/
