Lawyers Contest State Drug Laws In Oklahoma
Attorneys for three men charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute argue Oklahoma drug statutes are unconstitutional and deny equal protection due to mandatory 2 to 10 year prison terms and a $5 000 fine with no probation. They claim the offense cannot be proved before the act occurs and that the penalty is cruel and unusual.
