Question: My sister was charged with trafficking cocaine after a search warrant was served at their residence.investigator found 20.9 grams of crack cocaine. her boyfriend told them that the drugs was his and she didnt have anything to do with it but she was charged anyway. they both are being held without bond even though neither are convicted felons.my question is can she beat this charge and second how do we get her a bond hearing appeal

Answer: Did she have a bond hearing? Until she has a bond hearing, there is no appeal. If she has had a bond hearing, she can appeal her denial of her bond in Georgia Court of Appeals. Her attorney should know how to handle that. As far as her beating the case, there is no way anyone can tell, because you have not included enough facts. The mere fact that the boyfriend says she is not involved will not result in a NOT GUILTY.

Question: The Confidential Informant stated that it observed several people inside and outside the residence and that there was marijuana throughout the residence in plain view. For these reasons an other persons provision is requested. NO Knock Provision

....Does the fact that there were people or drugs present in a controlled buy justify a No Knock Warrant issued by the magistrate in Georgia?

Answer: This is a fascinating question for this reason. Let us assume that I vehemently maintain that the judge overstepped his discretion in signing a "no knock" warrant. What can you do with that information? Absolutely nothing. First, either there is no attorney on the case, in which case the law will not be argued by lay folks (i.e. non-lawyers). Or second, there is an attorney on the case and he/she does NOT know the law, which means my telling him/her the law is meaningless because he/she must still cite case law in order to defend his/her position.
