DPP agrees to downgrade drug dealing charge

Possession of methylamphetamine with intent to sell or supply was the charge against our client. The quantity of drugs was almost three times the quantity that gives rise to such a presumption. Our client maintained the drug was for personal use only. After successful negotiations with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions the prosecution agreed to downgrade the charge to simple possession on our client’s plea of guilty thereby avoiding a sentence of immediate imprisonment.
