NY Governor Patterson admits to committing FELONIES

NY gov says he tried coke and pot in his youth
a.. Gov. David Paterson says he tried cocaine in his 20s

b.. New governor also says he hasn't touched pot "since the late 70s"

c.. A day after he was sworn in, Paterson said he had affairs while
married

d.. Paterson replaces governor who resigned amid prostitution scandal

NEW YORK (CNN) -- New York Gov. David Paterson admitted during a television
interview Monday that he used cocaine and marijuana during his early
twenties.

Appearing on an NY-1 political show, Paterson was asked about using cocaine
and said he'd "tried it a couple of times" when he was "22 or 23." About
marijuana, he said he hadn't touched it "since the late 70s."

Paterson said that during his 2006 campaign for lieutenant governor he had
been asked on camera about drug use.

He said he had answered "in the affirmative."

Paterson, 53, became governor of New York a week ago after Gov. Eliot
Spitzer resigned amid his alleged connection to a prostitution ring.

One day after he was sworn in, Paterson said he was involved in some affairs
several years ago during a troubled period in his marriage.

Paterson is regarded in New York as a politician of integrity who is capable
of building consensus in the capital in Albany after the Spitzer shake-up.

The Patersons have two children

Well,some people do -- but the drugs are common knowledge, when he was
running for Lt. Governor, he admitted to taking marijuana and cocaine
but has not taken illegal drugs since the 1970s. IMO anyone under 60
who says they didn't try drugs, marijuana, at the very least, is
either lying or went to Brigham Young University or the like.

Was it a misdemeanor in the 1970s when he claims to have consumed it?

Unless if fell from the sky, he either purchased it, or received it
(distribution/conspiracy)
from some other dealer/distrubutor.

Many a cocaine dealer will be happy to hear that, prosecutor Larry.

Did you cite the statutes in effect in the 1970s ?

Are you claiming that Criminal Conspiracy (even to commit a misdemeanor)
was not a Felony when David Patterson conspired with his cocaine
supplier to obtain, purchase, possess, transport and/or use the cocaine
in question?

Did Federal Drug Laws not apply to the Felonies in question?

Did David Patterson state he conspired, purchased, obtained and used
cocaine in New York, or is that another one of Larry's classic strawmen ?

No, Patterson stated he used. I've had people offer me drugs - for free -
at parties and in nightclubs and bars. ( When you turn 'em down they think
you must be a cop. ) No purchase, no conspiracy, people offer drugs all the
time for all kinds of reasons.

Please do tell how one can purchase, possess and/or use cocaine
in the U$A without violating Federal Felony laws.

Conspiracy to Distrubute/Possess.

Irrelevant, it's still distribution.

Yes conspiracy if you accepted the drugs, or agreed and took an "overt step"
toward possessing/accepting the drugs.

> people offer drugs all the time for all kinds of reasons.

And you're a clueless nitwit if you think your acceptance of
those drugs wouldn't constitute a crime, State and/or Federal.

Funny. THOUSANDS of people who "took" marijuana and cocaine
in the 1970s ended up convicted of Felonies and/or Incarcerated for
the very same acts this drug-abusing scumbag got away with.

The difference being those caught and prosecuted PAID their DEBT
to Society, this dirtball did NOT.

He admitted to using cocaine. Someone comes up to you at a party, asks if
you want some - that's happened to me. They're offering to share their
drugs.

No need to conspire, to purchase, to possess. If you're inclined, you step
in to the bathroom or wherever, you snort it up. Or smoke it, whatever.

I'm not an attorney, but I understand some drug use can violate state laws
without touching federal laws. Federal law is based on the interstate
commerce clause, so if you merely use what someone offers you, no commerce
involved.

I don't know, and neither do you. People offer drugs, it happens. I've had

Nope. No conspiracy. No distribution. No possession, Someone hands you
the mirror, you partake (or don't). No possession. No distribution. No
conspiracy.

Really, is this concept beyond your comprehension?!?

The person who gives it to you *might* meet the test of distribution (though
I doubt it). The recipient does not.

You really need to read the conspiracy statute. If someone hands you a joint
and you take a puff and hand it backed, you didn't conspire and you didn't
possess.

It would constitute a state crime. But not neccesarily a federal one if you
never purchased. And not a felony.

Are you claiming that EVERYONE who used marijuana or cocaine in the 70s was
convicted, much less incarcerated?

Obviously not. Some were caught, some were not. The difference in most
cases: people who used but didn't deal were very rarely caught, and even
more rarely incarcerated.

Conspiracy to distribute/possess


> No need to conspire, to purchase, to possess.

If there is an offer, agreement and acceptance to engage in criminal
activity, and an overt act in furtherance of that crime, you have
conspiracy. Ipso facto

That you don't know basic criminal law doesn't change that fact..

So tell us how obtaining, purchasing, possessing and/or using

violate Federal Drug laws.

Supreme Court allows prosecution of medical marijuana
By Bill Mears
CNN Washington Bureau
Tuesday, June 7, 2005 Posted: 7:36 AM EDT (1136 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled doctors can be
blocked from prescribing marijuana for patients suffering from pain caused
by cancer or other serious illnesses.

In a 6-3 vote, the justices ruled the Bush administration can block the
backyard cultivation of pot for personal use, because such use has broader
social and financial implications.

"Congress' power to regulate purely activities that are part of an economic
'class of activities' that have a substantial effect on interstate commerce
is firmly established," Justice John Paul Stevens wrote for the majority

At issue was the power of federal government to override state laws on use
of "patient pot."

The Controlled Substances Act prevents the cultivation and possession of
marijuana, even by people who claim personal "medicinal" use. The government
argues its overall anti-drug campaign would be undermined by even limited
patient exceptions.

The Drug Enforcement Agency began raids in 2001 against patients using the
drug and their caregivers in California, one of 11 states that legalized the
use of marijuana for patients under a doctor's care. Among those arrested
was Angel Raich, who has brain cancer, and Diane Monson, who grew cannabis
in her garden to help alleviate chronic back pain.

A federal appeals court concluded use of medical marijuana was
non-commercial, and therefore not subject to congressional oversight of
"economic enterprise."

But lawyers for the U.S. Justice Department argued to the Supreme Court that
homegrown marijuana represented interstate commerce, because the garden
patch weed would affect "overall production" of the weed, much of it
imported across American borders by well-financed, often violent drug gangs.

The current case considered by the justices dealt with the broader issue of
whether marijuana users could be subject to prosecution.

The case is Gonzales v. Raich, case no. 03-1454.

The point being he obtained it from someone, unless you're asserting
he grew coca and processed his own cocaine all outside the jurisdiction
of the U$A.

And offering/accepting illegal drugs IS distribution, numbnuts.

Really? So if one doesn't "purchase" the drugs, no Federal crime is

So cite the Federal "misdemeanor" that involves the distribution, sale,
possession and/or use of cocaine.

Sure, but it must be the same criminal act. If I buy drugs, I'm not
conspiring with a drug dealer to distribute drugs. I'm using (possibly
on my own), and he's selling (and not with me; I'm buying)

I can't find use prohibited in the USC, which concerns itself with
manufacture, importation, and distribution. Can you point me to title

I don't believe this is correct. You have to be in concert for there to
be a conspiracy. One person is buying and one is selling. These are
separate crimes.

Distribution is giving drugs to another person. You're not distributing
drugs if you're merely using them. Your dealer may be.

Bullshit. Are the drugs not being distributed to you? Have you
not agreed and taken an overt act in effecting that distribution?

Can you point me to a cocaine user who didn't either purchase, distribute,
possess, transport, use the interstate telephone system, use the interstate
banking
system, use the US postal system, and/or travel across state lines and/or
conspire
to do any aspect or element of the above in furtherance of the multi-various
crimes inherently necessary before the drugs end up in the body of the end user?

Stupid rat --


"The United States Federal law, via the Controlled Substances Act, does not
recognize the medical use of marijuana. Agents from the federal Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) were assigned to break up California's medical marijuana
co-ops and seize their assets. This activity was the result of the belief that
federal law preempted that of California. The government argued that if a single
exception was made to the Controlled Substances Act, it would become
unenforceable in practice. The government also contended that **consuming**
one's locally grown marijuana for medical purposes affects the interstate market
of marijuana, and hence that the federal government may regulate-and
prohibit-**such consumption.**" (emphasis added for addle-brained rats)


So again, unless the marijuana is falling from the skies like manna from heaven,
the end user is part and parcel to the distribution/production/trafficking of
said drugs,
and has an "effect" on the interstate market as a whole, whether positive or
negative.

You clueless fuck-chop. Exactly how does the user obtain
the drugs if not part of a distribution (or self-manufacture)?

Prisons are full of naive clueless drug users like you and BoRax,

falsely assume the crime of "just using" can be completed in a legal

Is not having been convicted and/or incarcerated all that makes him a

convicted and/or incarcerated not "scumbags" and "dirtballs"? If so,
that sounds like an argument for repealing the relevant laws. (Or if
not, what is your point in harping on his non-conviction/
incarceration?)

Well then, all those 1000s of people convicted and/or imprisoned
for conspiracy to distribute, who were merely the receivers of,
or other peripheral players to the distribution of drugs will be
happy you've figured out a legal loophole to get
them freed.

So from whom are you obtaining the drugs without their agreement?

Please tell us you aren't so pig-ignorant to think that ALL the
conspirators of a crime must take an overt act in furtherance
of the crime for the overall criminal conspiracy to become choate.

So tell us then how you would obtain cocaine from your supplier
without conspiring with them, or committing another crime such as
theft, stupid rat.

True, but the vast majority of people who use illegal drugs are never
busted. And in the cases of those who deal who are arrested, most are simply
charged with possession.

I don't know how to make this any clearer. I'm not distributing cocaine
by hoovering it. I have to perform some act that gets the drug to other
people. Drug users are not necessarily drug dealers.

Let me check. Er, no. The room spins when I'm drunk.

Purchasing drugs is not distributing drugs. Most of the cocaine users I
know don't mule, don't sell, don't get their drugs by mail, don't travel
across state lines, and stay the hell off the phone.

This isn't about consumption. It's about manufacture. The government
sucessfully argued that even if you grew weed for and only for your own
use, it was still manufacture.

If the end user is the grower, he may not successfully argue that he's
not really a grower because he's the only user. What's so hard about
this?

By accepting the cocaine from the distributor, you the distributee,
become the necessary link in the chain of distribution.

It doesn't get any clearer than that, numbnuts.

Oh My!

Cub Prosecutor Larry must be as frustrated as a deaf-mute playing bingo right
now,
wanting to chime in, but can't do so without admitting that RealityCheck, Prof.
Jonez and tjab are right and the stump-stupid stoners in opposition are the easy
fish that prosecutors

Try this on for size then, Socrates:

If the end user is the distributee, he may not successfully argue that he's
not really part of the chain/conspiracy of distribution because he's only
the user.

What's so hard about that?

And equally bad for the distributee, when they get charged and convicted

Good thing for Prosecutors then that the statutes and
codes criminalize *Distribution* and inculpate all those
who knowingly take part in said distribution with the
criminal conspiracy, whether they be distributor, distributee,
the accountant, the driver, the lookout, the butcher, the baker
and the candlestick maker ...

The Supreme Court; Mandatory Life Term Is Upheld in Drug Cases

Published: June 28, 1991
The Supreme Court ruled today that the Constitution permitted imposition of a
mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole for nonviolent first
offenses.

The 5-to-4 decision suggested that such a severe penalty might be
unconstitutional for some crimes, but the Court stopped well short of specifying
where it would draw the line beyond which a sentence would be "cruel and unusual
punishment," in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

The Court upheld a sentence imposed under a Michigan law on a man convicted in
1986 of having cocaine in his possession. Michigan is the only state to impose a
mandatory life sentence, without parole, for possession of relatively small
amounts of narcotics. The sentence for an equivalent crime under the Federal
sentencing guidelines is about 10 years.

And how did you come to "hold" the drugs, if you

You're jumping in late. With respect to the thread and the discussion,
the implication was the conspiracy/agreement between the dealer and
purchaser.

More Larry the Liar bullshit.

If a 1/2 gram of PURE is the standard, and by your own assertions
"street-level"
cocaine (is that P Diddy level, Martha Stewart or Britney Spears level?) is
40-80% pure,
then possession of as little as 6.25 TENTHS of a GRAM of street level
cocaine qualifies
as a felony. That's not even enough for the taxi ride to the party for a
group of friends, much
less enough for a nights fun. And being powdered cocaine is sold mostly by
the gram or
eight-ball, it's felony from jump street.

A GRAM of cocaine is dealer level in your mendacious world?

Going in the middle of your range, 60%, we're still talking less
than a gram. Any particular reason why you would claim otherwise?

Most dealers never got caught if they stuck with Mary Jane. _Always_
having coke got one a certain reputation, every time a friend of your

Because Larry Glasser, like Kent Wills and Cliff Claven, are just consummate
liars
and bullshitters.

Behold the legal "wisdom" of Larry the Legal Imbecile:

"What do you think a "DNA Warrant" is? There is no such thing."
-- Larry the lying legal stooge

" [The Jury] might have unanimously found that he probably committed the crime,
or likely committed them, or possibly committed them - *or* that he was in fact
innocent."
-- Larry the idiot

"The jury was hung. Whether it was hung 11 for the top count and 1
for a lesser count or 1 for the top count and 11 to acquit is of no legal
relevance in terms of bail."
-- Larry the legal imbecile

" Actually, prisons are one of the few public places where
you can still smoke."
-- Larry the idiot

"There are over 1300 ADAs in New York City alone, and
I personally know at least a half-dozen named Larry or Lawrence."
-- Larry the eponymous fool

" I don't know a single attorney, public or private,
who knows his/her attorney registration number."

And the Criminal Conspiracy codes or statutes would also
criminalize "any person" who knowingly agrees with said
manufacturer, distrubutor or dispensor in furtherance of
the commission of said crime(s).

A criminal distributee is an integral part of the chain of criminal distrubution
for
a criminal distributor. Ipso Facto, Ratzo.

Of course. But the crime in question would have to be to distribute to
another party. Not what the buyer for personal use does.

And there's no reason that I can see that the statute couldn't have been
written just that way, to make drug possession part of the illegal act of
participating in a drug "network." But that's not how it's written,
simple possession and distribution are criminalized separately.

Well, it would have to have been because the offense he said he was
convicted of doesn't exist on the federal level.

Besides, it doesn't matter because when I responded to your claim that
president could issue a pardon by pointing out that the president can't
issue pardons for state law violations, you claimed I was wrong about
that. It was only after I provided several legal citations to back up my
claim and you realized you were flat wrong that you retreated to your
typical name-calling and "you're lying" bullshit.

It's what you always do whenever you're proven wrong about anything. In
fact, it's the surest sign that you know you've been beaten.

No need to. Possession is a discrete and separate crime from distribution,
as evidence by the fact that THOUSANDS of defendants are charged
with both distribution and possession and conspiracy, all for the same
illegal
drugs.

> But that's not how it's written,

Yep. Which even to someone playing as obtuse as you are, the
distributee can in fact be in violation of both criminal distribution,
criminal possession and conspiracy for same, all over the same
batch of drugs.

Nice game of three card monte, Larry, but the real question is, how is

You've now gone from "generally" to "I've seen cases."

Are you really having this much trouble admitting you were wrong?

Interesting.

Do you have any evidence, any at all, that Gov. David Patterson committed
his drug felonies in the State of NY where he could avail himself of this
drug-dealer
coddling, soft on crime, NY law ?

You wrote:

In the middle of your range, 60%, 835 milligrams of white powder
contains more than 500 milligrams of pure cocaine.

Is it your "opinion" that 835 milligrams is far more than a gram?

If I wanted to argue over that, I would. I don't, so I haven't.

So which is it now, liar? 50 or 55% for the upper limit?
Is that equally distributed, or are you prevaricating again?

So tell us liar, with your newly fabricated figures, how
is 1.05 grams *far more than a gram*, legally speaking?

So then how is 1.05 grams *far more than a gram* in prosecutorial terms, eh
lying Larry?

Seems like your bullshit and lies are far outside the "accepted margins of
error"

Which isn't what you originally claimed, liar.

So tell us again how 1.05 grams of cocaine is "far more than a gram".

Why would anyone believe a liar like you, Larry ?


"The average purity of powder cocaine in 2003 was high and was similar
across quantity levels (60 to 80 percent) but was still well below the peak
levels of the late 1980s. Through the late 1980s, there were pronounced
differences in average purity between the two lower quantity levels and the
two higher quantity levels. Now those differences are quite small,
suggesting that "cutting" or diluting powder cocaine as it moves from the
higher (~100 gram) to the lower (~1 gram) quantity levels is not as common
as it used to be. "

Now why don't you go eat some more shit, Larry, you shiteating liar?
