What is the test for determining the actual weight of marijuana seized during a search warrant search?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Lopez-Robles, 53 F.3d 340 (9th Cir. 1995):
At the time of the seizure, agents used a calibrated scale to measure the marijuana and determined that it weighed 230 pounds. The district court was justified in relying on this reliable evidence. See United States v. Upshaw, 918 F.2d 789, 790 (9th Cir.1990) (district court must use reliable information to determine quantity of drugs), cert. denied, 499 U.S. 930 (1991). The actual weight was more reliable than the predicted weight set forth in the search warrant affidavit.
