KEEPING SCORE: THE JOE BYRON/JOE GRUMBINE TRIAL SO FAR
For the folks at home keeping score, the Joe Byron/Joe Grumbine medical marijuana trial currently taking place in Long Beach Superior Court has already cranked out some stunning numbers. Keep in mind that all of this is in response to selling a healing plant to patients qualified to use it.
· There have been 28 court appearances so far, with at least another 20 days expected.
· According to Superior Court Judge Charles D. Sheldon, it takes between $10,000 and $15,000 a day to run his courtroom. That gives this trial an estimate of $480,000 to $720,000 for the courtroom alone.
· 4 Judges have had a hand in the case thus far.
· 50 officers took part in the investigation of this case.
· 120 officers took part in the raids, many of them pulled from other units.
· There's an average of 5 bailiffs in the courtroom at all times.
· A court clerk and court reporter are on duty at all times.
On a typical day (we kept score on 12-5-11) the defense had 44 defense objections over-ruled; 1 objection sustained; while all 7 of the prosecution's objections were sustained.
This case will last longer than most violent crime cases including murder. It will be longer than Michael Jackson's doctor's case or the Casey Anthony case, and possibly even longer than the OJ case.
Just to reiterate, this is all over the charge of selling a plant to qualified patients.
