   TURMEL: MedPot Bob Woolsey found guilty, lenient sentence   
      
   JCT: Bob Woolsey had a Dispensary and was busted for 5   
   counts of trafficking marijuana. Guess that would be 5 life   
   sentences.   
      
   He presented his Quash Motion on the basis that the Allard   
   decision had found the exemption was invalid and pursuant to   
   Parker, the prohibitions are invalid absent a valid medical   
   exemption.   
      
   But the Judge Skilnick ruled that other judges had refused   
   to follow Parker and he could too.   
      
   And if it didn't matter whether the exemption was absent or   
   not, proving it was absent now wouldn't matter either.   
      
   And so, he dismissed Bob's Mernagh Charter challenge, and   
   then found him guilty of the 5 counts of trafficking.   
      
   But then after noting Bob had spent a night in jail,   
   sentenced him to "time served!"   
      
   And fined him for $250 for each count!! But also ordered the   
   return of his $1,000 in cash so he could pay it.   
      
   Bob's going to appeal the dismissal of the Quash and Charter   
   challenge but not much reason to appeal against the lenient   
   sentence.   
      
   I hear the Crown were very unhappy and mentioned it would be   
   giving the wrong message to the community.   
      
   Or the right message. Stop wasting the court's time with   
   Cops and Gardeners.
