BR retained our office this month to represent him at his Preliminary Hearing for Delivery of a Controlled Substance. Officers claimed to have witnessed BR participate in 2 suspected drug transactions. At the first court appearance, the officer failed to show for an unspecified medical reason. We demanded a preliminary hearing. The judge allowed the State one continuance. At the next hearing date the State was unable to procure the Illinois State Police Crime Lab Report specifying the testing an analysis of the alleged controlled substance. We refused to agree to another continuance. The judge denied the State’s Motion to continue and they were forced to dismiss the case.
Even though we won the above case on a technicality, it’s still a win. BR gets to go on with his life conviction free. Attorney Callahan’s 20 years of experience in and expertise in the practice of criminal law in cook county often leads to this type of result. DISMISSED AT PRELIMINARY HEARING
