Teen accused of distributing U-47700 from darknet pleads not guilty

The Drug Enforcement Administration recently classified U-47700 as a Schedule I substance, making it illegal. That designation came after the teen boy is alleged to have bought and distributed the drug, however. Additionally, the drug is not illegal per Utah law. In light of that, prosecutors will have to prove the drug the teen boy allegedly distributed is a controlled substance analog, Cassell said. To classify as a controlled substance analog, the drug has to have a similar chemical nature to, or have the same effects of, a regular controlled substance.

prosecutors are charged with proving charges are under controlled substance analog act

Who pleads guilty ever?

I got two points I'd like to bring up; 1) U-47700 technically was never scheduled, do your research and you'll see the DEA never scheduled the substance 2) U-47700 isn't structurally similar to any controlled substances. Therefore, how would he be charged under the Analog Act?
