Nurse Patricia Smith Appeal Hearing "Manufacturing" Marijuana

[Free libertarian]

Some of you may remember from a talley tv report that a woman in her 50s, Patricia Smith was convicted last year in Grafton County Superior Court for the heinious "crime" of indoor gardening, growing Marijuana.  She has been out on bail pending appeal since her conviction last August.

I spoke to her at length last week and she sounded pretty bummed, let's not forget her...

Her appeal hearing is scheduled for Oct. 20th 2011 in Moultonboro, NH, where her lawyer will get to do a 15 minute song and dance in front of the Supreme Court.  As many of you may know an appeal isn't like a re-trial it's more of a time to review a particular legal issue that the lower court may have made an error on.  I will try to update the time and place of the appeal and believe talley tv and Weeda Claus may be on hand to record and witness the event.   The clock is ticking for 'Tricia, it is likely that her appeal will be denied and she will begin serving her 2-4 year sentence within a short time at the State Prison in Concord.

She not only faced charges from the State of NH, the Federal Goverment kept the $14,000 stolen from her the day of her arrest and extorted an additional $37,000 for a total of $51,000 ransom so she could keep her house. How nice huh?

Stay tuned will try to update as more info. becomes available.

There was a "concerned citizen" that ratted her out.  She knows who the douchebag is.  While on the witness stand at her trial one of the cops had a "temporary memory loss" and couldn't recall the rat's name.

can't remember if she wanted the story behind let out, or if it's already been made public except to me, Talley, and Weeda Claus. . . . but from what I recall, and while being vague. . .

she did a good thing for a neighbor.  That good thing pissed off someone else who was a scumbag.  Scumbag = rat.  Doing good for others, get tossed in jail for having plant matter.

Sounds like some rat poison is needed.

Some rats  end up choking on their own bad karma.  Simply telling the truth about who and what they are might be a good alternative to rat poison.  For instance another well known "weed rat" is currently being pursued by the very men with badges when just two years ago he was coddling their respective ball sacks and they were playing nice with him. Now I guess he is no longer a "concerned citizen" instead he's now a fugitive from justice.  Funny how for some people the worst punishment is having to be themselves.  In due time Patricia Smith's informant will have to live with his mistake...

[Jim Johnson]

I got a question; Why are judges such assholes?

[Free libertarian]

sonsabitches.

jury education, man.

I have a feeling that NHJury.com will be there.  How much "jury education" we are allowed" to provide "the children" remains to be seen....but we will be there to witness the travesty of justice.
