A court agreed with a man accused of distributing narcotics



June 19, 1992: A court agreed with a man accused of distributing narcotics to a minor. The court ruled that the Fairfax Police tricked him into a confession, failed to present evidence about defendant's state of mind, whether he was under the influence of any drug or alcohol. The court questioned whether he had acknowledged understanding his constitutional rights, or whether he had any prior experience with the criminal justice system. The cops got away with it. No one was punished or reprimanded.
