A state court jury Wednesday acquitted an Orange County woman of possession of methamphetamine. 38-year-old Tiffany Lee Elmore had been indicted on the felony charge in September last year. The trial was held before 128th District Judge Courtney Arkeen.
Defense attorney Paul Fukuda said Elmore was arrested by a Department of Public Safety trooper on October 3, 2015. Witnesses at a convenience store had told the trooper they had seen Elmore passing drugs to a passenger who threw them out a vehicle.
However, during cross examination by Fukuda, the witnesses recanted their original stories and admitted they had never seen Elmore in possession of the methamphetamine.
Fukuda said he is “very happy with the jury decision. Whether in an injury case or a criminal case, our jury system is the best in the world.”
