So my buddy "artied" just burned Season 5 for me on DVD, and I am halfway into the second episode (where Lem first puts on the wire), and for the second time, Kavenaugh mentiones that the charge he has and will push for against Lem is "Intent to Distribute".
Now, someone in the LEO community correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the MOST they have on Lem is possession? Where the f*ck did Kav come up with Lem's intent to put the tar on the street?

The "Intent To Distribute" may be because of the quantity possessed.

Too bad Lem didn't have a good lawyer. I'm sure he could've come up with a sob story about how he took it during the process of trying to recover Angie's body, and about how he felt guilty and responsible for her death- and it caused him to get an ulcer, blah, blah, blah. Kav wouldn't have bought into it, but maybe a judge would've (in TV land, anyway). He would've still ended up in jail, prolly, but better than him being dead and not on the show.
I'm totally ignorant when it comes to the whole judicial process, so...

Kav was in an upper hand position with the DA and IAD. There is no tale spinnin' when you get to that point. And jail just wasn't an option for Lem. He would have been a marked man in there. Good looking white cop on the inside just don't do well. Esp. with Antoine running the place. Nice thought, tho.

Right. A kilo isn't your home stash unless you're a rock star. Otherwise, you probably don't want to smoke all that yourself.

I think that a half if not a quarter of a kilo would be enought to consider it more that for personal use. A kilo of tar is a shit load of tar.

I seriously doubt that anyone would want to smoke more than a 28 grams/1 ounce of smack, much less a whole kilo. A kilo of heroin is to much to be considered "personal use" so its considered intent to distribute. I think that a half if not a quarter of a kilo would be enough to consider it more that for personal use. A kilo of tar is a shit load of tar. I believe anything over 28 grams/1 ounce is possession with intent to distribute. Also if there are multiple packages of any Street Pharmaceutical, it can bump it up to a distribution charge.

per colorado revised statute tar heroin is considered a class 1 scheduled drug because it has a high potentual for abuse and it is not accepted for medical use. heroin is accepted for medical use but not tar heroin. for intent to distribute, you need atleast 25 grams of a schedule 1 or schedule 2.

Thanks for asking that question I was wondering about that charge myself. I thought they only had him for five years.

there was never any reason that lem was going to put the heroin out on the street Kavanaugh was just pissed and embarrassed that Lem and Vic saw Kavanaugh talking to his "crazy" wife.
