Kodak Black’s attorney Bradford Cohen is asking for a third party to test the pills allegedly found in the rapper’s possession during his arrest last week.
“It is impossible … to explore a defense on behalf of [Kodak] without being able to inspect, weigh, and independently test the substances,” Cohen said per HHDX.
Kodak was arrested recently in Florida and is reportedly being charged with drug trafficking, an offense that carries up to a 20 year prison sentence.
His attorney argued the independent drug test 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.”
Cops allegedly found 31 oxycodone pills and nearly $80k in cash.
