Terminal Cancer Patient Guilty In Marijuana Trial

[Dustlawyer]

35. By way of explanation, but in NO WAY A JUSTIFICATION, the Court can follow the law technically

and say that the medical need is not a defense to the charges brought, thereby excluding the reason from evidence. Additionally, the jurors are instructed by law to not let bias or sympathy play a part in their decision. Admitting that evidence and those tumors would be highly prejudicial in the case.

Having said that, first I am not licensed in that state and do not practice criminal law.
Second, most courts can allow equity (basically fairness in the Judge's opinion) to allow it in or consider the circumstances in sentencing. Here we must have one of the most heartless bastards to ever sit his ass on a bench!

With 80+% of the state's citizens in favor of legalization for medical needs, that would be overwhelming evidence that our political and judicial system is messed up! Let's fix this by getting rid of the corporate money that makes politicians ignore us and only listen to the Big Donors.

Join me September 13th - November 4th (midterm Election Day) in protesting getting the money out of politics by demanding Publicly Funded Elections - Federal, state and local. 2 month campaign season with TV and Radio time donated as a public service for these media out lets using the public airwaves under license. Spread the word, organize your city, town, community and hit the streets!

Let's stop this kind of bull shit, we CAN do it!
