Judges are lying to juries.

I was taught by my church, years ago, that there are two kinds of lies.

The first is overt. Where someone speaks a lie.

The other can be more sinister. Called a lie of omission. This is where something is intentionally left out to cause a false impression.

There are judges in Michigan that lie to juries. And they lie to juries to gain a conviction against an innocent person.

What is the omitted information that is so important? That the defendant was licensed by the state to have marijuana.

That may be the defendants entire defense.

Hypothetical example:

A person has five plants. They are raided and arrested for their five plants.
In court the PA shows that the person had five plants.
The judge has refused to allow the defendant to show the jury they have a license from the state to have the plants.

Based on the information allowed by the judge, the jury has no option but to convict. No option the jury is aware of.

That is where we must now make our mark.

We must teach people that as a member of a jury, one person in 12 is a majority.

It took more that 50% of "we the people" to force this law on them against their will. It only takes 1 in 12 to enforce this law.

Vote not guilty in any case about marijuana. The courts are lying to you. By omission.

Medical marijuana advocates to protest Oakland County policies | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

Medical marijuana users and caregivers say they'll gather Monday outside the
Oakland County Circuit Court to protest tactics being used against them by
county authorities.

The demonstration was to mark the start of the trial of registered patient
Barb Agro, 70, who is charged with illegal drug dealing. But her attorney,
Jerome Sabbota, said Saturday that Monday's hearing would be adjourned.

Still, the protest isn't just for Agro, but "for all defendants being denied
their rights," said Jamie Lowell, who runs Third Coast Compassion Club in
Ypsilanti and helped to plan the demonstration.

More than two dozen other medical marijuana defendants currently face trials
in Oakland County, Lowell said.

Agro of Lake Orion is a retired school bus driver and former dispatcher for
the Lake Orion police who has severe arthritis, her attorney said. She is
charged with conspiracy and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.

Oakland County drug investigators raided her home for marijuana plants on
Aug. 25, the same day they raided numerous other patients' homes and medical
marijuana establishments. Prosecutors contend Agro, her late husband, Sal
Agro, and their two sons were all medical marijuana users tied to commercial
sales of the drug, which amounted to illegal drug dealing.

On Friday, eight of nine defendants arrested in connection with Clinical
Relief -- a former medical marijuana dispensary in Ferndale -- were bound
over for trial by Ferndale District Judge Joseph Longo on charges of drug
delivery and conspiracy. Longo dismissed charges against Stacey Ellenbrook,
41, of Chesterfield Township, a secretary-receptionist for Clinical Relief.

County drug investigators, who admitted to using phony state medical
marijuana ID cards to get inside Clinical Relief, said they found evidence
of drug dealing there.

In cases resulting from the raids, circuit judges were expected to rule on
whether state law allows medical marijuana users to be served by commercial
establishments. Those would include dispensaries such as Clinical Relief
that sell the drug, and compassion clubs that provide social space for using
it, attorney Paul Tylenda said.

But that issue might not be decided because, in recent cases, prosecutors
argued that defendants can't even be identified as approved medical
marijuana users in the courtroom, said Tylenda, who defended Ellenbrook.

"The Oakland County prosecutor has successfully barred the mention of
medical marijuana to juries numerous times. Funny how this is only happening
in Oakland County," he said Friday.

Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper responded that "the judges are the
individuals who are making these decisions" about whether defendants can use
provisions of the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act as a legal defense.

"Obviously, (judges) make their determinations based on the law," Cooper
said Friday.

*** pb comment .. Why would Cooper tell the press something so obviously false. These judges are making their determinations on what existed more than two years ago. Not on current law.

 

Actually the system is vulnerable. It is wide open for attack.

It can be undone by people refusing to vote "guilty."

And THAT is what the press needs to be alerted to.

 

That's right .. it's already happening.

Pull the plug.

Vote not guilty in ANY marijuana case.

Just pull the plug.
