Someone made a good point dont say anything detailed on here. The curiosity is killing me tho. But in your best interest saying the least you can is best.
The police can lie to you about anything until its in writing. If they did use the power bill to get a search warrant a good lawyer should get the whole thing tossed based on that. Anything found with an unjust or ill gotten warrant is inadmissable. Imho that warrant is absurd if its based on that. Shame on that judge.
That power bill could have been anything. You could have been growing veggies inside. Could have been a stack of supercomputers used as a server stack- and your legal state wise unless their making a federal case how could state even get a warrant if you had the legal right to grow?
Im guessing a rat even if they havent told you yet. Take it far enough and the rat has to sit on the stand in front of you and say everything he testified to.
But like 95% of cases are settled without trial. And the rats never revealed if a plea bargain is reached and there isnt a trial
