Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Griffis finds the lower court improperly affirmed the trial court judgment in this matter of alleged drug possession. A jury found defendant guilty of possession of a controlled substance after a grand jury indicted him for knowingly, willfully, unlawfully and feloniously possessing 30 grams or more of ethylone, a Schedule I controlled substance, discovered during the course of a traffic stop. Defendant was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment with 10 years suspended and 20 to serve. But the instant court finds that ethylone is not a Schedule I controlled substance, and as such the indictment does not charge a crime, and defendant's motion for post-conviction relief was timely filed. Defendant’s conviction and sentence are reversed, and the judgment dismissed. Reversed.
