Kodak Black’s Lawyers Call For Drug Charges To Be Dropped

by

Last month, Kodak Black was arrested by police and hit with a few charges, including for drug possession. Though he pretty quickly pleaded not guilty to the accusations he’s been held in jail ever since for violating his probation. Police claim that Kodak was discovered with white powder around his mouth which he tried to hide from police. The charges filed against him claim that the substance was cocaine but his lawyers have denied that right out of the gate. His attorney denied that the substance was cocaine, claiming instead that it was Percocet.

Since the arrest, Kodak Black’s lawyers have been fighting to get him free. One of their first attempts was to get him released into a drug rehab program. Despite his clear struggle with substances, the judge denied that request. In the reasoning given, the judge described Kodak as a “danger to the community” as a justification for not releasing him. The news kept getting even worse for Kodak in the weeks that followed. News broke that he could end up being forced to serve a previously pardoned jail sentence. He famously had a sentence commuted by Donald Trump a few years ago but may end up having to serve that time anyway. Check out the latest developments in the story below.

Kodak Black’s Lawyers Fighting Drug Charges

Now in their newest legal move, Kodak’s lawyers are once again calling for his drug charges to be dropped. According to TMZ, in newly filed legal documents they claim that new tests have confirmed exactly what they said about the powder found on Kodak. Reportedly, his defense has evidence that it was in fact Oxycodone which he also reportedly has a prescription for.

The judge hasn’t made a ruling on the filing yet. The call will seemingly be determined by how strong the evidence presented by the rapper’s defense actually is. What do you think of Kodak Black’s lawyers claiming his drug case should be dismissed after new tests? Do you think the drug charges will be dropped before Kodak goes to trial? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kodak Black Update: Rapper’s Attorney Insists Lab Report Confirms Oxycodone, Not Cocaine, On His Person

by

No matter how discouraging Kodak Black’s situation looks from the outside, Bradford Cohen remains dedicated to bringing the Back For Everything artist home. As his client remains behind bars, the famous attorney is speaking out on his behalf. He claims that the substance on Yak’s person during his latest arrest wasn’t cocaine, as authorities claim. Rather, it was allegedly Oxycodone, which he has a prescription for after enduring beatdowns during past stints in prison.

Unfortunately for the Southern entertainer, Cohen’s request for a drug treatment program was denied. The presiding judge is calling him a “danger to the community.” Nevertheless, Black’s legal team continues in their fight for his freedom. They lit up social media with an update on Tuesday (January 9) morning. “As stated when this new case first was filed, this was not cocaine and the officer was lying about his observations,” the 26-year-old’s lawyer wrote in his latest Instagram caption.

“We finally got the lab report,” Cohen continued. “It’s Oxycodone that Kodak had a prescription for and not an illegal substance. Knowing that the officer substantially misrepresented his observations, the Broward State [Attorney] Office still filed the [charges]. Unbelievable and it will not be tolerated. This level of abuse of power by the arresting officers is disgusting.” For now, the plan of action is to “seek a new bond hearing and address these unethical practices by the police department.”

Unfortunately for Kodak Black, 2024 isn’t off to an optimistic start. After announcing on IG Live that he’s got another baby on the way, rumour has it that the Florida native might be behind bars even longer than expected. If all goes the prosecutor’s way, Yak will have to serve the sentence that was formerly pardoned by Donald Trump in 2020. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
