The medical marijuana trial of former gubernatorial candidate Steven Wynn Kubby and his wife, Michele Renee Kubby, returns to Placer County on Tuesday with Judge James L. Roeder presiding.Prosecution of the Kubbys was put on hold during jury selection last August when Michele Kubby, experiencing complications related to her pregnancy, was confined to bed by doctors.
The Kubbys are charged with cultivating and possessing marijuana for sale, two counts of conspiracy, and various other possession counts stemming from a sheriff's raid on Jan. 19, 1999, that netted 265 marijuana plants, 110 of them fully grown and budded females.The couple contend they were growing the pot for medicinal use. Steven Kubby, 53, a Libertarian candidate for governor in 1998, was diagnosed with adrenal cancer more than 16 years ago and claims marijuana use has extended his life. Michele Kubby, 34, had used marijuana prior to her pregnancy to treat a chronic stomach ailment.Their trial originally was scheduled to start this week, but one attorney's previous commitment created a conflict precipitating the delay.Wayne Wilson Published Feb. 17, 2000Copyright © The Sacramento BeeRelated Articles & Web Site:The Kubby Fileshttp://www.kubby.com/ Kubbys' Trial Begins Tuesday http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread4726.shtmlCannabisNews Articles On Michele & Steve Kubby:http://www.alltheweb.com/cgi-bin/asearch?type=all&query=cannabisnews+Kubby
