“I am yet unaware of any evidence, any evidence, that my client possessed even a gram of marijuana,” Butler said outside the courtroom. “…The marijuana belonged to the Santee Sioux Tribe. They paid for it. They had legal ownership of it at all times. Mr. Hagen never had possession, actual or constructive, of the marijuana alleged in this case.”
Butler said he will call tribal officials to testify in court.
