This Coming May 8th it will be one year since the bust on this Collective grow.
We are still in the appeals process, and I have received a briefing on the appeal. In short the DA and prosecution have no evidence to prove that we weren't a medical collective. The Judge ignored Due-process and the 14th amendment, by disallowing any medical defense....there is more to it and being added, but i'll have to update you later.

Defendant Charles Newcomb has been in county jail Wayside. I have yet to get all the full details, but he was to see judge Horan about his Marinol and Charles piss testings. Charles lawyer was threatened by Judge Horan with contempt, after telling Horan he couldn't tell Charles not to take Marinol (Marinol is FDA approved). Charles is to appear in Pomona Superior Court this Monday the 5th. Should be 8:30 floor 5 court M ......Hopefully they will release him.

I still have a upcoming court date June 13th......same time place and court room....and judge. I hope it goes ok.

No date has been set to see Judge Horan for the 3rd defendant Mr. Anderson as of now.

You are all in our thoughts, the truth shall overcome :-)

Due-process for judges and prosecutors these days is "make a deal so I can go play golf."

....i like that idea. It would make for a solid defense in court.

...this was why Chris Conrad was going to testify. it was all blown way out of proportion . I'm still sitting on a tax bill on 4.6 mil worth of cannabis from the county of LA.

I wouldn't count on nurses. They are in a one on one battle with thier employers, and food comes first. I am sure many would love to support us, but they can be in a tight situation.

Here is a very solid defense, in my opinion, from the Florida Supreme Court-
The pressure of natural physical forces sometimes confronts a person in an emergency with a choice of two evils: either he may violate the literal terms of the criminal law and thus produce a harmful result, or he may comply with those terms and thus produce a greater or equal or lesser amount of harm. For reasons of social policy, if the harm which will result from compliance with the law is greater than that which will result from violation of it, he is by virtue of the defense of necessity justified in violating it.

W.R. LaFave & A.W. Scott, Jr., 1 Substantive Criminal Law § 5.4, at 627 (1986) (hereinafter LaFave & Scott). Or, as stated by Justice Holmes, " 'Detached reflection cannot be expected in the presence of an uplifted knife.' " Arnolds & Garland, The Defense of Necessity in Criminal Law: The Right to Choose the Lesser Evil, 65 J.Crim.L. & Criminology 289, 290 (1974) (hereinafter Arnolds & Garland) (quoting Brown v. United States, 256 U.S. 335, 41 S.Ct. 501, 65 L.Ed. 961 (1921)).

I printed this out and will keep it should I ever end up in court again. It is a persuasive argument.

Hi all!!! I thought i would post this video of the security camera recording. I received my belongings from the police and I found the video on the hard drive of the DVR. I did some quick editing....because it took them 8 hours to find the cameras to turn them off.
