However, the investigating officer’s subsequent inquiries suggested the defendant possessed the substances for personal use and trafficking. The defendant later denied all charges in court. Attorney Bashar Al-Nassar, lawyer for the defendant, presented an oral defense, arguing for his client’s acquittal. He contended that there was insufficient evidence of intent to traffic, that the initial confession of his client was invalid, and that the arrest and search procedures, as well as the underlying warrant, were invalid because they relied on inconclusive investigations and the absence of a valid warrant from the prosecution.

The defense also requested the summoning of the arresting officer for questioning and the inclusion of the telephone records of the defendant and the police logbook in the case file to support the claims of the defense and highlight weaknesses in the evidence presented by the prosecution.
