No the "guy", Bob Martin, openly operates several marijuana dispensaries.

Regarding Martin, the prosecutor, George Bevan, told the jury:

"You could say he's violating the law, why isn't he on trial? Well that's not for you to consider."

You seem to be following this in the local press.
Is there any doubt that at least several people on the jury know what the case is about, i.e., the referendum, etc.?

Former club employee Robert Martin, who was forced to testify under a grant of immunity, alleged that Hayes drew down the club's accounts to pay for his exile. Bills went unpaid and the power was shut off. Martin, who now runs another medical marijuana club, began covering expenses out of his own pocket, but testified that he wrote Rosenthal bad checks for his plants because he believed Rosenthal was attempting to take over the operation. The prosecution then produced an unsigned letter to Rosenthal, seized from Watts' computer. The letter suggests that Rosenthal was selling bug-infested plants as an act of ''willfull sabotage'' to infect other growers and corner the medical marijuana market, a charge Rosenthal denies.

Rosenthal's Federal Drug Trial Turns Surreal

Quite a pair.
