and marijuana in drug tests!

LOS ANGELES, Federal Magistrate Judge James McMahon ruled on Friday (April 23, 1999) that the test used to distinguish between the prescription drug Marinol® and the pernicious drug Marijuana in urine is invalid. There is, therefore, no way in which to distinguish between Marinol® and Marijuana in drug tests.
The federal government had been using an experimental procedure to distinguish between THC, found in both Marinol® and marijuana, and THC-V, which is found only in marijuana. Using this test, the government was attempting to revoke medical marijuana patient Todd McCormick's $500,000 bail and place McCormick in custody until his trial, not scheduled to begin until September 7, 1999.Click the above link to read the whole article!http://www.marijuana.org/http://www.petertrial.com/

sequence of events, Marinol/pot judicial arguments
I'm trying to track the chronology or sequence of events with specific attention to the quasi-contradictory rulings by judges King and McMahon during Todd McCormick's "final days" before being felled by the ludicrous, malevolent judicial/criminal system juggernaut. Can someone send me, or direct me DIRECTLY TO, a simple, clear chronology of the disposition of Todd McCormick's trial on federal narcotics charges re: his production of "too much" (in the feds' omniscient judgment) medical marijuana for the societal welfare, to use a hoped-for needling shard of sarcasm impaled in the feds' overinflated moral torso.
