Hi everyone, The upper court, appellate department of the superior court, overruled the suppression order (page 1, page 2) by the judge in Cassondra’s case. After winning a motion to suppress, the district attorney appealed the case and just yesterday we found that the order was overruled and the appellate court found that because the…

I recently was successful with a motion to suppress evidence in a case involving a woman named Cassandra who was charged with possession of a controlled substance. I met Cassandra just before she was to have a trial so I was unable to put in any motions or make any type of pre-trial move. …

We got a ruling! But we don’t like it. The judge denied the motion on the grounds that the case Gonzales v Raich applies to Jeff’s motion to dismiss. My friend Bill was not surprised. His response was that after all these years studying the governments actions, we know they are corrupt. I remember…

As of this writing, the judge still has not ruled upon Jeff’s Motion to Dismiss his federal marijuana conviction. After telling us she would rule on November 3, 2011, at the hearing she said she would rule A.S.A.P. and that she would rule very quickly. This motion is very big to the prosecution because…

I’ve compiled an excellent list of the most potent quotes from the recent case Carol Anne Bond v U.S. and the decision by the Circuit Court that was made September 17, 2009. The Supreme Court ruled June 16, 2011. The question before the Court is, “whether a person indicted for violating a federal statute…

I’m still blown away by the supreme court ruling discussing the foundation of the Constitution and the concept of federalism that was stumbled upon by the court when it first set out to determine if a person prosecuted for a crime can challenge the law used against them. The court found no other direction,…

I think I first grasped the ‘separation of powers’ concept when I realized that I could use these power for my own benefit. This made me feel powerful towards the government. At the time, I didn’t realize that the power was to be used not only individually by me, but also against an individual…

A guy I new 30 years ago came into my office yesterday and wanted to hear my views on “medical marijuana”. When I told him that “medical” means “commercial” and is regulated by congress, he nodded and said that is what he thought. He said he had read both of my books on the…
