Have a WA Drug Conviction? You are Entitled to Relief!

In an impactful case, the Washington State Supreme Court has ruled that all drug possession convictions, ever, are invalid. What does this mean, how did they get there, and how do you go from here. The Law Office of Stefanie Dorn 1700 7th Avenue Suite 2100 Seattle, WA 98101 PHONE OR TEXT: (206) 222-8829 EMAIL: [email protected] State v. Blake is a big game changer out here in Washington State because it is taking all of the convictions that have ever happened, since the 70s and all that, on possession of drug cases and saying that this law that it was charged under is a bad invalid law and so therefore these convictions cannot stand. This came because a woman was convicted for having methamphetamine in her pants pockets, but the pants weren’t hers. She had borrowed them, her friend got them at a thrift store. The Court said we can’t punish unknowing possession, that’s not fair that she’s responsible for something that she didn’t even know was in her pocket. So, we have to look at this law and since it doesn’t have an intent element, that means that none of the convictions under this law or valid. So, what does this mean? Does this mean they are going to throw them all out? They probably should. But instead, what they’re doing is coming up procedures and processes and you generally need to work with the courts to get the case off of your record. Since I made this video, some prosecutor’s office, such as King County, are even petitioning the court on behalf of the defendants. They have streamlined the process and it is much simpler than a regular vacate. Courts are also working to get people back any legal financial obligations they have paid on those drug cases. So, it’s a very progressive area law, there is a lot of movement, and I would be happy to help you with it.
