cannabisnews.com: Jury Still Out in Kubby Case Jury Still Out in Kubby Case Posted by FoM on December 20, 2000 at 17:12:54 PT By Journal Staff Source: Auburn Journal The jury in the marijuana-possession-for-sale trial of Olympic Valley's Steve and Michele Kubby will try again today to reach a verdict after completing a third day of deliberation Tuesday in Auburn.Jurors returned to the courtroom Tuesday morning to hear testimony by defense expert witness Chris Conrad read back to them. Conrad testified on yield, stating that the Kubbys' 265 plants would have yielded about 3.5 pounds of high-grade pot. Prosecutors contend the yield would be closer to 25 pounds – too much for the personal medicinal uses the Kubbys contend their cannabis crop was for.Jurors began deliberations Friday after a trial that spanned four months. Steve Kubby, the Libertarian Party gubernatorial candidate in 1998, played a key role in getting Proposition 215 – the Compassionate Use Act allowing medical marijuana use – on the statewide ballot in 1996.

A verdict of 12-0 was reached regarding the peyote for both Steve and Michele. A verdict of 12-0 was reached for Michele with regards to the mushroom stem; 11-1 for Steve.We believe the number show an acquittal for the peyote and for Michele on the mushroom stem. By that logic, the 11-1 vote is in our favor and that was certainly our impression in looking at the jury today.The substitute judge instructed the jury to return to its deliberations and report back to Jucge Cosgrove at 8:30 a.m.THE AMERICAN MEDICAL MARIJUANA ASSOCIATION15 Monarch Bay Plaza, Box 375, Dana Point, Ca 92629E-mail: amma drugsense.orgWeb site: http://www.drugsense.org/amma/Join our List: http://www.drugsense.org/amma/Related Articles & Web Site:The Kubby Fileshttp://www.kubby.org/Medicinal Pot Case Goes To Jurors Today http://cannabisnews.com/news/thread8009.shtmlKubby Marijuana Trial Could Go To The Juryhttp://cannabisnews.com/news/thread8000.shtmlCannabisNews Articles - Steve Kubbyhttp://cannabisnews.com/thcgi/search.pl?K=kubby Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help Post Comment Name: Optional Password: E-Mail: Subject: Comment: [Please refrain from using profanity in your message] Link URL: Link Title:
