First off, you don't get 11 years for having a small amount of pot for personal use.
Second, no pot user lives next door to a known pot dealer and isn't involved with that dealer in some way. Common sense tells you that the neighbor of the dealer, was also a dealer. See point one.
This smells like a piss poor case to take all the way to the USSC, just to get every shred of evidence thrown out.
Final point, it costs big bucks to ever take a case to the USSC, how does a non-dealer, living in low rent housing, come up with that kind of cash? See point one.

“When the case reached the Kentucky Supreme Court, however, that court ruled that there was no “exigent circumstance” and, even if there was, the police couldn’t use that as an excuse because their actions created the “circumstance” in the first place. Said the court, “
That's a fantastic leap in logic, there. I hope you aren't a lawyer.

That is one of the more absurd things I’ve seen a FReeper write lately. Have you ever lived in a large apartment complex? It is very easy to have very, very little contact with your neighbors.
