   JCT: David Butler's prosecution has come to an end with an   
   acceptable result. He'd been busted with a small plantation   
   and charged under S.7(1) with cultivation and a 6-month   
   mandatory minimum but:   
      
   DB: Discharge after 12 months probation, guilty of possession.   
      
   John: Great. A discharge. That's no criminal record.   
      
   DB: As I sat outside the court room deciding my course of   
   action, the crown asked if I would consider a possession   
   charge, no criminal record,  no gun ban with complete   
   discharge after 12 months probation. They had my wife go get   
   my HC declaration and $100 surcharge   
      
   John: Great deal. I've always approved when you end up with no   
   criminal record. Cheerful result. And you still have offensive   
   options for free. God, I'm happy for you. You were tough   
   enough, they caved and took a draw. I'm proud of you.   
      
   DB: I was in a tough spot and I did get a transcript of my   
   last court appearance on Friday and never opened it till this   
   morning but never read it.   
      
   JCT: Quick recap. DAvid had gone in to file his Charter Motion   
   and when the court ruled he couldn't file it, he lost it and   
   started cursing about having spent $60 on printing and it   
   doesn't get heard and stomped out of the courthouse. When I   
   heard, I had hoped there wasn't a warrant out for him.   
   Luckily, it didn't go that way.   
      
   DB: oh yes the sheriff had to help me right to my chair which   
   was brought in special for me to sit in because my back went   
   out a few days ago it was a sight. And yes I was commended on   
   my fortitude even the arresting officer shook my hand and the   
   judge tried to look serious but agreed with the crown and gave   
   me a year to pay the $100 plus I can only do prescription   
   drugs   
      
   JCT: Well, luckily, David did get exemption for marijuana!!!   
      
   DB: His lordship judge Muise and crown Joshua Bryson   
   may 23 2016 5 days short of 3 years   
   With what I got going on in my life  yes I'm relieved it's   
   over   
      
   John: Yes, I'm relieved too.   
      
   JCT: So another nightmare comes to a draw.   
   Have to update my http://johnturmel.com/wins page
