A$$hole can't read and he's calling me a moron.

Look, jerkoff, he was found not guilty of possession of marijuana. That's it. That's what keeping his ignorant butt out of jail.

Nowhere did I read where a jury found that marijuana wasn't growing on 10 acres of his land or that there was 250 pounds of marijuana in his barn. Absent that finding, it's adios farm.

.. he was found not guilty of possession of marijuana. That's it.

Right, IMO, "that's it" - as you put it.

What charges remain? What charges are as yet unsettled?

If there are no charges outstanding, what is the gov't reason for siezing the property? Surely there must be a charge out there waiting to be litigated?

Hey b***wipe:

He wasn't charged with 'growing' anything now was he.

I hope to God somebody plants a joint in your house someday and then rats your butt out to the cops.

Once again. He was found 'not guilty' of the charges, and yet you, good little Nazi that you are, want him to lose his land anyway.

F*** off.

"Nowhere did I read where a jury found that marijuana wasn't growing on 10 acres of his land or that there was 250 pounds of marijuana in his barn. Absent that finding, it's adios farm."

Nowhere did I read that there were 10 acres of marijuana growing and 250 pounds of it in his barn. Read the article again. The police said they found an "estimated" 250 pounds of marijuana. There was marijuana growing in ten acres of cornfield and some in the barn. It was June.

Being as this happened in June, they probably found over two hundred immature plants growing and just estimated that each plant would produce a pound. That's pretty much the standard measure law enforcement uses, and of course, it's not accurate. If it was marijuana grown from seed, about half the crop would turn out male and would be cut out as soon as its sex showed as there is no market for male plants and the growers like to pull the males before they fertilize the females as seedless buds are much more potent and valuable. Not only that, but as I understand from testimony I've heard, not all female plants will produce the same if they make it at all. Bugs, deer, rabbits, thieves and disease all cause losses in marijuana crops. Not every plant is going to make it and produce a pound or more of final product.

Anyway, whether the 250 pound figure was bogus or not, your characterization of the evidence is not accurate. It could be that only a couple of male plants that had showed their sex early were drying in the loft of the barn. Or maybe there was just a half smoked joint in the barn. You can't tell from this article. And the pot growing in the fields could have been very well hidden. It wouldn't seem like it would be that hard to hide a couple of hundred pot plants scattered about in ten acres of corn.
