Open letter to those people who were convicted of Possession of Controlled Substance in Whitman County in the last 50 years:
The Washington Supreme Court recently decided the case of State v. Blake. The Court ruled that Washington’s statute which made possession of a controlled substance illegal is un-constitutional and so is void.
If you were convicted of Possession of Controlled Substance, or of Conspiracy to commit that crime, or of Solicitation to Possess Controlled Substance, you are likely entitled to have that conviction vacated and have that charge dismissed from your record. Also, if you paid money to the court as a result of such conviction, such as a fine, you are likely entitled to have that money reimbursed from the State.
This office has already taken action to seek to Vacate and Dismiss many cases. If you want to know what this office’s position will be regarding your prior conviction, you may fill out the Request for Contact Form and someone from this office will contact you.
However, keep in mind that this office cannot be your lawyer or give you legal advice.
Sincerely,
Denis Tracy
