Well, apparently the DA didn't have much of a desire to go after Randolph. Evidently Randolph pled no contest to the resisting arrest charge and in exchange got the possession charge dropped entirely. At this point, with no conviction on possession at all I'd be surprised to see Randolph get any penalty from the NBA at all. He'll probably have to enter the marijuana program (due to reasonable suspicion of possession) but that might be it.
Must be nice to be rich and famous. I don't think Joe Blow gets caught with two pounds of pot without catching a felony distribution rap, Randolph gets the charges dropped and as a result gets to have his lawyer come out with the following:
Well, TMZ is standing by its report that he was busted with two pounds of marijuana. Somehow, I doubt that Zach's lawyer will be suing them for libel, threatening statements about defamation notwithstanding.
The whole thing kind of chaps my hide. Everybody should have to play by the same rules.
