HAMILTON -- Police here continue to lay charges for simple possession of
marijuana but local justices of the peace are refusing to process the
charges in court.
Even older charges that appeared on the drug-court docket yesterday were
being tossed out.
Justice of the peace Wendy Casey quashed any charge under the Controlled
Drugs and Substances Act for possession of less than 30 grams of marijuana.
She declared them legally invalid, effectively halting half a dozen federal
drug prosecutions before her morning coffee break.
