A recent client came to ENM Law when he was facing the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence. This client was on parole for murder when he was charged with simple drug possession. While a possession charge usually only carries a probationary sentence, this client was looking at a state sentence for the new charge as well as a state sentence for violating his parole with a new conviction. In consultation with Attorney Nevins, this client decided to take his case to trial and elected to have the case heard by a judge in a bench trial, rather than by a jury.
