So by that ruling, he should have never have been prosecuted, if he was an officer for Oakland's medical marijuana program, so now it even makes less sense to me. Unless I completely read your post wrong.

Uh no Nouge, Mr. Rosenthal, was prosecuted under a federal statute for growing more than 1000 marijuana plants.

Mr. Rosenthal was tried in a Federal court and under Federal rules. Rules which Mr. Rosenthal's attorney tried to skirt and in which the Judge said no to.

If you have a problem with the Federal law in this case, take it up to the person who probably would have sympathy for Mr. Rosenthal's plight, House Minority(Democrat party) leader, Nancy Pelosi.

OK... let me try this again, since I my question went unanswered...

If he was doing for and with the city of Oakland, why should he be ordered to dismiss that from his defense?

...Awaiting childish response...
