This LASA assignment is a continuation of the scenario from M3: Assignment 2 LASA 1. Please
reread the scenario fromM3: Assignment 2 LASA 1 before starting this assignment.
Having successfully completed law school, you are now a second-year defense attorney with
the state. You have been entrusted with the task of defending Abby, who has been charged
with illegal farming of marijuana with intent to sell and illegal possession of firearms. Abby has
never been charged with a crime before. The firearms possession charge is a misdemeanor in
your state, and the marijuana charge is a felony. During the course of review of the case, you
have been provided with the following information:
The police report filed by Officer Edward, which contains all the information regarding the
events leading up to the arrest of your client. The report also includes the observations of
Edward's former partner (who has since been promoted to detective).
A search warrant for the home and subsequent documentation mentioning that drug
paraphernalia and marijuana were found in the front room of the house. The documentation
also mentions that a shotgun was found, bearing your client's and her boyfriend's fingerprints,
under the couch in the same room.
A copy of a statement by your client but not signed by her, which appears to be a confession
that she made in the car on the way to the police station. In the statement, she claimed that
she just needed to sell a little more marijuana to raise an additional $1,500 so she would have
$10,000 to bail her boyfriend, Bobby, out of jail.
