Prosecutors conceded that the trial court’s conclusion was valid at the time of the July 2011 conviction but is contrary to a 2012 Supreme Court ruling on the law.Agro asked for a new trial but the Court of Appeals agreed with the prosecution, which argued that a pretrial hearing should be continued.

If the Supreme Court's ruling in 2012 was contrary to the trial court's conclusion in 2011, how could the trial court's conclusion have been valid in 2011?

She got screwed back then and so did a lot others for now but things our about to change if she can  get to a jury it will be over for the courts and they know it 

thats why they are fighting so hard to keep the truth from a jury 

We have not seen one case yet that a jury can here that someone has  a card

I think Bob has summed it up quite accurately.

I still don't understand why people think a jury solves the problem.  Juries convict at a much higher percentage than a Judge does.

Thanks

how would we know that we haven't had a case in front of one yet

[+Malamute]

A couple centuries of jury result evidence.

[phaquetoo]

85% of jury trials do not go to the end, they plead out!

 

Peace

Jim

[+Malamute]

... and why do you think that is?

[phaquetoo]

... and why do you think that is?

Because people cant afford to go thru the whole trial process, most of the 85% that plead out are indegent!

 

Peace

[+Malamute]

No.

 

 Why do you think that juries convict more cases?

 

Not who pleas out. 

[phaquetoo]

No.

Not who pleas out. 

Im not sure that jury's convict more cases, I believe judges convict more cases than jury's

We our still talking about Medical Marihuana jury's right and the truth coming out right?

I think you would have a better chance with a jury........... With the high percentage of people that understand and are for marijuana. I would imagine that you would have a better chance of a jury not convicting you on a biased personal opinion on MJ over a judge.......

Agreed 

Then you have the PA saying to the jury i only have to prove that the door was not locked?

[Wild Bill]

 Why do you think that juries convict more cases?

 

Because deep down they think that if you're on trial then you must be guilty.

...and we have a winner.

I noticed a report today the Zimmerman attorney (remember him?) is asking the State of Florida for $300,000 for legal expenses. Since the jury ruled Zimmerman was not guilty, the State must pay the defendants legal costs in Florida.

 

Would this same situation occur if the State of Michigan or a PA loses a mmj case? Does the State of Michigan pay the defendants legal fees if they lose a case after a jury trial?
