Kodak Black has successfully seen the drug charges against him dismissed in Florida, marking a significant turn in the rapper’s legal battles. The decision came after the Sun Sentinel reported that the prosecution failed to challenge the crucial evidence that Kodak Black had a legitimate prescription for oxycodone, which was filled by a pharmacy. This key detail played a pivotal role in the case’s outcome.
Judge Barbara Duffy acknowledged the prosecution’s oversight, pointing out their inability to “refute or negate the material fact that the defendant had an oxycodone prescription filled by a pharmacy.” This acknowledgment led to the charges being dropped, offering relief to Kodak Black and his legal team.
The circumstances leading to Kodak Black’s arrest involved a search of his car after he was found asleep inside. His attorney, Bradford Cohen, aggressively pursued a motion to dismiss, arguing that the substance found with the rapper was not cocaine, as initially suspected by authorities, but rather oxycodone for which he had a prescription.
Bradford Cohen took to Instagram to celebrate the victory, stating, “Motion to Dismiss @kodakblack new case for possession of ‘cocaine’ that was actually oxycodone….GRANTED.” Cohen’s post underscored the importance of distinguishing between illegal substances and prescribed medications, highlighting the success of their legal argument. He also mentioned efforts to have Kodak Black’s bond reinstated, signaling ongoing legal proceedings but with a favorable outcome for the rapper.
