They felt marijuana should be legalized, what he does with it is his own business and that the jails are already full of people for this silly charge. Then, when the potential jurors found out that the State wanted him to pay taxes on illegal drugs, they went nuts. One woman from the back said how stupid this was and why are we even here wasting our time. A ‘suit’ from the front said this was the most ridiculous thing he’d ever heard. The prosecutor ended up dismissing the case.”
