Charleston Federal Drug Trial
Rashad Muhammad has been waiting to go to trial for charges in connection with nearly 500 pounds of marijuana found in North Charleston. Early this month, he finally got a day in court before he was sent back to jail to wait a little longer. According to news reports, "Prosecutors in the marijuana smuggling case against Muhammad failed to share key evidence with Charleston criminal defense attorneys until after the trial started, a misstep so grave that the judge abruptly ended the case Tuesday and made an assistant U.S. Attorney apologize to jurors for wasting their time."
Charleston federal defense attorney, Russell Mace, representing Muhammad "told Judge Duffy on Tuesday morning that prosecutors turned over important evidence after 7 p.m. the night before. Specifically, Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Modica gave them a waiver signed by one of the other men giving up his right to remain silent, plus that man's statement that Muhammad was not at his business the night of a search."
