Hi, no the DA was not aware of it until the day before the court hearing. In VA the police issue you a summons for small amounts. They don't haul you to jail and the officers involved didn't not bring it to the attention of the DA before they came to our home. Customs only seized a 1/2 oz and the officers involved were on a fishing expedition. They were hoping to find pounds at least that was what the officers said. We didn't find out that the charge had been dropped till he went to court and couldn't find himself on the docket and they couldn't find him in the records. I don't know if anyone can do anything now torog if you already have been to court and sentenced, but afterwards we contacted the ACLU which we are members of and they said they would have provided a pro bono lawyer,since it was a violation of our civil rights. So if it ever happens again, that is what we will do. I hope this helps you some. I'm so sorry you were treated so badly.
