Not Guilty Despite Full Confession


Steven Knecht successfully obtained a not guilty verdict in a jury trial of dealing in morphine and methamphetamine charges.

In this case involving a traffic stop, the client was the driver and his girlfriend was the front seat passenger. A search of the car resulted in the police finding the drugs in a purple makeup bag in the backseat and over a $1,000 in the girlfriend’s purse. The client took responsibility for the drugs at the traffic stop scene in return for the police not arresting the girlfriend. At trial, Knecht successfully argued that his client’s confession was false as it was made only to protect the girlfriend.

With over 34 years of trial experience, Steven Knecht is familiar with the possible defenses to drug offenses and other criminal charges.  Few other attorney can match his trial experience and knowledge of criminal law and he can use that experience and knowledge to benefit you. If you find yourself having been arrested, you should immediately hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer that you can trust such as Steven Knecht to help you fight the State because you have a lot at stake on the outcome.
