Is Lamar Odom facing jail time for allegedly using cocaine at Love Ranch South?! The drug was reportedly found in the ex-NBA star’s system when he was hospitalized on Oct. 13, Hollywood has the scoop on whether or not he’ll likely do time behind bars because of this.
Lamar Odom has a long road to recovery…but is it going to end with time in jail!? HollywoodLife spoke with a defense attorney who explained why the former Lakers star will most likely be able to avoid doing time for his alleged drug use.
“In Lamar’s case, aside fromhis blood test, the available evidence is very shaky at best,” James Silverstein, Esq. told HollywoodLife.comEXCLUSIVELY. “No law enforcement officers personally observed Lamar ingest the cocaine, nor witnessed any of his conduct which could lead them to believe he was under the influence.” James added that, just like with DUI offenses, simply having cocaine in the system does not “definitely prove whether or not a person was under the influence.”
In summary, James is saying that there’s no “real proof” Lamar was using the drug. “With so many evidentiary hurdles to clear, not to mention that Lamar is now out of state, and the alleged crime is relatively low-level, it remains to be seen whether or not charges will be filed, an arrest sought, and extradition proceedings instigated.”
