Kodak Black's lawyer Bradford Cohen has filed a motion to have the alleged drugs seized by police during the rap star's recent arrest in Florida by a third party. According to RadarOnline, Cohen said in a statement, “It is impossible … to explore a defense on behalf of Kodak without being able to inspect, weigh, and independently test the substances.”
He added that it is, “essential to ensure his right to a fair hearing, his right to confrontation, his right to prepare a defense on his own behalf, his right to effective assistance to counsel, and due process of law pursuant to the protections afforded to him by the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and the Florida Constitution.”
Kodak is facing two felony charges, one for possession of a controlled substance without prescription and another for trafficking. He was found with 31 oxycodone pills and $74,960 in cash during a traffic stop in Fort Lauderdale last week. Police had searched his vehicle after allegedly smelling marijuana. He was released on a $75,000 bond.
Black responded to his arrest on social media with a photo of his mugshot, along with the caption, “SMH Not Again.”
