Under the non-prosecution (不起訴) decision caption «Violation of Taiwan Drug Hazard Prevention Act», we defended alleged sale of Schedule II cannabis; non-prosecution (不起訴) obtained.

Key Issues
  • Sufficient evidence of sale intent?
  • Link between transaction records and defendant?

Taiwan Drug Hazard Prevention Act Art. 4(2); Taiwan Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 154(2), Art. 253(1).
