The attorney for Washington State junior forward DeAngelo Casto, who was cited for possession of marijuana and suspended indefinitely from the team, filed a not guilty plea on behalf of his client along with a motion to supress any evidence collected during a police search of Casto’s apartment.
“This case is never going to get to first base,” Pullman attorney Timothy Esser said in an interview Wednesday with the Spokane Spokesman-Review. “This case will be dismissed. There was absolutely no compliance with constitutional privacy interest requirements.”
Here’s the most recent story on the topic.

Don’t those dumb cops know about Wazzu basketball players’ inalienable right to smoke weed?
Idiots.

Sounds like he’s got Tommy Jefferson representing him.

Haha…in Berkeley cops will watch you smoke some and shrug.

Gee, Milo – a ringing endorsement of Berkeley!
Opposing recruiting personnel everywhere thank you.

Nonetheless, you have to think WSU is a bunch of pot smoking bandits after this. Wow. 3 times. Straighten up, people. It’s not good for you.

Uh huh…it’s only pot. And the Cal AD department embraced the weirdness and diversity that is Berkeley a long time ago. They use to try and hide Telegraph from recruits and then they realized kids like it and the surroundings even if they don’t partake in any of it. It’s part of a Cal education.

WSU just failed. An illegal search means the evidence can’t be used IN THE COURTS! This begs the question, what was WSU suspending him for? The pot? or being arrested? Nothing stops the school from penalizing him just as if he was caught on campus with pot and no authorities were calls. I wonder if the Pac 10 will say anything regarding this.
Uh huh, it is great for you. Edibles and tinctures, baby!

Should the Cougs be renamed the Doobie Brothers?
