Hello, Here is a copy of the Trial Brief that has been prepared by Chris Lindberg for my trial on November 13, 2009. I really
think it would be good information and intel for all to have. The contradictions he makes regarding the LAW are amazing. We
should all be well prepared for how the DA may try and attack this at trial. If it can help anyone beat their case in the
end it has done its job! Pass it around! Jovan

PM A New Course on Medical Marijuana?By THE EDITORSUpdated, Oct. 20, 9:30 a.m.
| Susan Manheimer of the California Police Chiefs Association joins the discussion.
The Justice Department announced on Monday that federal drug agents will no longer arrest or prosecute people who are legally using, selling or supplying medical marijuana
in the states that allow it. “It will not be a priority to use federal resources to prosecute patients with serious illnesses
or their caregivers who are complying with state laws on medical marijuana,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in a
statement when he released the new guidelines. But, Mr. Holder said, “we will not tolerate drug traffickers who hide
behind claims of compliance with state law to mask activities that are clearly illegal.” The line between legal and
illegal is an issue in Los Angeles, where city authorities have tried to crack down on local cannabis clubs. On Monday, a county judge overturned an ordinance that put a temporary moratorium on establishing new medical marijuana dispensaries. How significant is the change in federal
drug policy? What will the new guidelines mean for local and state law enforcement?

As seen on the California
Police Chiefs Association website http://www.californiapolicechiefs.org It is "presented by friends of the DEA" and endorsed by a host of other organizations. This illustrates
a concerted effort among state and federal officials (as well as a multitude of other agencies and non-profits) to
encourage the Obama administration to continue to allow federal raids, not allow the classification of marijuana
from a schedule one to a schedule two drug, and to continue the pattern of harassment of medical marijuana communities by
state and local law enforcement officials. North County Times - Californian, Serving North San Diego and Southwest ... TERI

October 2, 2009 The Marley
Family (that's right, Bob's kids) called one of our local leaders last night to say they are considering where they might put a museum here in SD, to celebrate the life and music of Bob. He
took the words of the most high, Jah, and put it to music, making it right. Stay tuned folks, its between two locations, either in OB, or Hillcrest. HCC would
be a sweet spot, wouldn't it? Thanks Paul, thanks
Patrick. Give thanks!

 Alice Sanderson and her family Alice Wiegand and her husband Jeffre Sanderson were living a quiet, untroubled life in
northern California's rural Plumas County in the summer of 2006. The couple had a nice home, a baby son named Jamie,
and an impressive organic vegetable garden. But they had something else that caught the attention of law enforcement
and triggered a raid that shattered their lives: a plot of approximately sixty-four tall marijuana plants that could be seen
from the sky. When sheriff's deputies served a search warrant at the home, they discovered another grow area: a basement
room where over a hundred marijuana clones were in production. However, they also found something that made the district
attorney refuse to prosecute the case: evidence showing the grow was a collective garden that supplied ten patients whose
doctors had approved their use of marijuana under California's Compassionate Use Act.
The U.S. Attorney's Office
had no such reluctance. Since federal law does not recognize state medical marijuana protections, the case was promptly
taken over by federal prosecutors. In the months that followed, Jeffre and Alice struggled to stabilize their family.
After bailing out of jail, they got Jamie back from Child Protective Services, and they also welcomed the birth of a new son
named Jahson.
The family would not remain whole for long. They lost both children to CPS in October
2007, when Jeffre was arrested for cultivating a new crop of marijuana. He defended himself in federal court by claiming
that he used marijuana religiously as a Rasta, but the judge didn't buy the argument and ruled against Jeffre in November
2007. That same month, Jeffre and Alice accepted plea deals to resolve the charges against them. Jeffre pled guilty
to cultivating under 80kg of marijuana, a charge that does not carry a mandatory minimum sentence. Alice made a guilty
plea on conspiracy to cultivate, and she agreed to forfeit the family's home and farm as part of the deal.
In April
2008, a federal judge sentenced Jeffre to eighteen months in prison and gave Alice the lesser term of six months.
However, the judge allowed the couple to serve staggered sentences, so that Alice could remain out of prison long enough to
regain custody of the two children. Jeffre's eighteen months ended up being like a tour of California's penal institutions:
a combination of pre-sentencing jail time in Sacramento, stints at prisons in San Bernardino and Herlong, and several months
at a halfway house in San Francisco.
After Jeffre's release, it was Alice's turn. On July 13th, 2009,
Alice said goodbye to her children and drove with Jeffre to her temporary new home: a prison camp for women in Dublin, California.
"Her sons are being told the truth," said Pam Ayoob, Alice's mother-in-law. "Mommy has to
go to jail for growing plants in the yard." Read more on this story: http://www.medicalmarijuanaofamerica.com/court-reports/sanderson.html Alice Wiegand #16647-097
