Crown Appeals Acquittal of Marijuana Crusader

Posted by FoM on July 19, 2001 at 17:04:48 PT The Canadian Press  Source: Ottawa Citizen  The Crown has decided to appeal an Alberta court ruling that said marijuana crusader Grant Krieger was justified in breaking the law by selling pot to chronically ill people. Krieger said Thursday the appeal documents indicate the Crown will argue the trial judge erred in law when he instructed the jury that the defence of necessity could be justified. Krieger, 46, has multiple sclerosis and has been fighting for more than five years to have the drug legalized for medical purposes.
