Another Jury Revolts Against Marijuana Laws, They felt marijuana should be legalizedScott Morgan I had a jury trial this morning on level 3 possession with intent MJ, level 4 possession drug paraphernalia and level 10 no drug tax stamp. During voir dire, my almost all white, middle-class, middle-aged jury went into full rebellion against the prosecutor stating that they wouldnt convict even if the clients guilt was proven beyond a reasonable doubt almost all of them! They felt marijuana should be legalized, what he does with it is his own business and that the jails are already full of people for this silly charge. Then, when the potential jurors found out that the State wanted him to pay taxes on illegal drugs, they went nuts. One woman from the back said how stupid this was and why are we even here wasting our time. A suit from the front said this was the most ridiculous thing hed ever heard. The prosecutor ended up dismissing the case. Judge gave me a dismissal with prejudice. Im still laughing my ass off over this one. I have NEVER seen a full on mutiny by an entire jury pool before. Easiest win ever! As the polls continue to turn in favor of reform, the refusal of juries to convict marijuana offenders could quickly become a brutal burden for these drug war boneheads to bear. Its about damn time. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:
