A client was arrested for delivering a pound of marijuana to an undercover criminal informant (CI), but the DA did not charge the Chester County man for a year.

Attorney Michael Skinner questioned the lack of a speedy trial and the fact that the CI was not available at the preliminary hearing. The client, who was already on probation for a similar case, was offered a reduced charge to simple possession and a year’s probation. Attorney Skinner then successfully moved to have the charges dismissed.
