A federal jury Friday found Ed Rosenthal, the author of how-to-grow books on marijuana and how to avoid the law, guilty of marijuana cultivation and conspiracy charges.
Deliberating for a day, the 12-member jury concluded that Rosenthal, the self described "Guru of Ganja," was growing more than 1,000 plants, conspiring to cultivate marijuana and maintaining a warehouse for a growing operation. He faces a maximum life term when sentenced June 4.

You've been around awhile cork, you must know its pointless to argue with Dane and Kevin Curry, right?oh.....yeah, your'e right. but
Beware the fury of a patient man
and when the time comes, those who lust for control over others will understand the price that that control will cost. Kevins and Danes karma bank account is overdrawn.

Oh, well. One less libertine on the streets is not really a bad thing. But one less libertarian is a tragedy.

To present your arguement in the best light, I'd advise learning how to spell your words correctly.
For example: aloud = allowed
Measure twice, cut once.
To: Dane
So what brought you to this thread? The gloat factor?
To: Nouge
If he was doing for and with the city of Oakland He should cut a deal and agree to testify against the city officials who were part of the criminal conspiracy.

LOL! This is the first time I've come across an attack on the federal rules of evidence based on the First Amendment. Maybe Ed should be allowed to stage a filibuster to delay sentencing.

Post the transcript and I'll let ya know.I don't believe it is available yet.
Besides, you already know some of what has occurred.
Directness isn't your forté. You're so much more adept at circumvention.

I don't believe it is available yet.I'll wait.

So you can only determine if he did anything wrong by having a transcript? Will everything said in the courtroom be in there?
You're a farce to be reckoned with, for sure.
To: philman_36
Will everything said in the courtroom be in there? Should be.

BTW...As well reknowned as you are for citing things, and with your cut-n-paste skills, I figured you'd have the transcript ready at hand. Can't you get it or find it? Why don't you post the transcript?
Ping to your pong.
To: philman_36
It probably won't be ready for a while.

Should be.What if eveerything that happened in the courtroom
isn't in the transcript? What if only the decision is ever available? What will you use to verify that the judges actions were all appropriate?
Will the article on the other thread (
Judge Keeps Tight Rein on Pot Trial) give you some clues in making a determination?
