Friends, In what is clearly another chilling example of the political undertones to our case, I have just learned that my speech to a Libertarian convention was recorded by an investigator and may be used as evidence against me.
My attorney, Dale Wood informs me that Deputy D.A. Christopher Cattran has sent us a copy of a tape that contains the entire speech I recently delivered to a Libertarian Convention in Kansas City. Apparently a Placer County investigator traveled to the event, recorded my speech and may even have kept me under surveillance during my entire trip.

Questions Raised by the Upcoming Trial! 7/15/99
Tahoe WorldTo the Editor:Steve and Michele Kubby will be tried next week in Placer County, charged with growing marijuana for sale. Because of Steve Kubby's status as recent Libertarian candidate for governor- also because he has courted publicity their case has attracted far more attention than normal; although not as much as it deserves. What can be gleaned from the coverage thus far is the incredible importance the case has for local officials, as can be implied from their willingness to spend time, tax dollars and county resources in pursuit a goal, which would be - even were their bogus charges true- highly questionable at best.There is no doubt that both Kubbys have valid medical recommendations (there is even good evidence that Steve's use of Cannabis is life-saving); they were very open about their "grow." No evidence of sales was produced at the arraignment; the sole basis for the charge is the number of plants destroyed; what kind of "criminals" could the Kubbys possibly be to justify months of surveillance by a multi-agency, multi-county and two-state "task force" (including federal participation)? Didn't those people have any better use for their time and our tax dollars? Isn't this really a demonstration of how important the budget increases, empowerment, and corruption made possible by marijuana prohibition have become to law enforcement agencies at all levels? Can anyone reasonably claim that pursuit of a conviction here is based on a valid concern for public safety?The world will be watching Placer County next week for the answers to those questions.Tom O'Connell MD195 Warren RoadSan Mateo, CA 94401(650) 348-6841
