Hardy court case delayed again

Quote :

Examiner.com has provided an update on TNA Champion Jeff Hardy's pending drug charges.

Hardy was in a North Carolina courtroom on Wednesday to defend himself against various drug charges stemming from his September 2009 arrest.

According to the Moore County Sheriff's Office police report, found 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 Soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine and items of drug paraphernalia when doing a search of Hardy's home.

Hardy was hit with a long list of charges - including:

- Conspiracy to traffic in Opium
- Trafficking in Opium by possession
- 2 counts of possession with intent to distribute
- Felony possession of cocaine
- Felony maintaining a controlled substance in a vehicle/dwelling/place
- Misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia

As we've seen a number of times before, the Moore County Superior Court delayed the case yet again - with Hardy due back in court on January 20th.

Holy crap, his lawyer is good.

Seriously, if I ever get in trouble in the state of North Carolina (which I doubt I'll ever be), I want this guy to defend me.

That guy can defend you in almost any state. He is either on the Bar in more then one state, or he gets local concil and becomes part of their legal team. The legal term for this is pro hac vice.

: (proh hock vee-chay) prep. Latin for "this time only," the phrase refers to the application of an out-of-state lawyer to appear in court for a particular trial, even though he/she is not licensed to practice in the state where the trial is being held. The application is usually granted, but sometimes the court requires association with a local attorney.

His luck will run out sooner rather than later...
