Howdy Y'all,

Well..my court date is set for Feb 28..pretty dang quick,considering that my gal's court date ain't been set yet..I hope it means that they will just drop her charge.

I talked to one of the lawyers listed with D/FW NORML yesterday,and he said that I should demand a public defender and probably go the deferred adjudication route. I told him how I felt that the task force and the fed,probably violated my rights and took my smoke improperly and he said that it probably was,but that the cops will lie to cover their asses,that it was a given. He also said that the fed wasn't going to try and take my case to the US attorney,because my 'gifts' were so small,that it wasn't worth the time and hassel for em.

I also told him that I was 100% disabled and that I have a very limited set of guide-lines that I have to adhere to in regards to my physical limitations,that would preclude me from doing most community service and such,he said to be sure and inform the judge..I will most certainly do that !

Another interesting thing is,is that the task force that came to my home that day,will be disbanded at the end of March and I'm wondering if I took the case to trial,that it would be difficult for the county to git the narcs to testify at my trial,because they've been re-assigned elsewhere.

I just don't know what to do-should I take DA or is it time for me to make a stand and stand-up for medical need and decrim ? If I lose the trial,the maximum sentence is 180 days in county jail and a 500$ fine,I believe. The president of D/FW NORML,said that he would organize a protest for me at the courthouse if I want. The lawyer said that I would make a good poster-boy for the medical marijuana issue and that MPP would probably want me to go to Austin and testify about my medical need.

What say y'all ?

Have a good one !
