Ed Rosenthal--author of the Marijuana Growers Guide--has been convicted in
the US District Court in Oakland, Ca. on charges of "conspiracy",
"cultivation" and "manufacturing" medical marijuana. The illegal Bush junta
which stole the 2000 election because Clinton was not "tough enough on
drugs" alleges that Ed, one of the founders of the modern marijuana
movement, is some kind of drug kingpin.

The trial began with the U.S. Judge, Breyer, dismissing more than 2/3 of the
jurors because of support for Prop. 215, which made medical marijuana legal
in California. After picking a completely unrepresentative jury, the Judge
ruled that no "medical marijuana defense" would would be allowed. In fact,
Rosenthal was deputized by the city of Oakland so that dispensation of
medical marijuana would be covered under the same legal immunity as the
narcs. The Judge ruled that Congressional intent (to ban cannabis
absolutely) trumped the plain language of the statute that immunizes
government agents.

Defense attorneys had sought to force Judge Breyer to allow them the chance
to present evidence that would reveal that during the Clinton
administration, at least one DEA supervising agent had said that the federal
government would not pursue prosecutions in areas where the local
governments were allowing medical distribution. Such testimony would
indicate that Mr. Rosenthal had been the victim of a form of entrapment, so
the Judge won't allow it. Although Judge Breyer was finally forced to allow
some testimony by a member of the Oakland City Council that Ed was not
trying to conceal his activities, the case went to the jury Friday without
Ed being able to mount an effective defense.

Last February 12 the Bush clique led by Attorney General John Ashcroft
arrested Ed in an attempt to silence the cause of medical marijuana which
saves the lives of many. Therefore the time has come to confront the US
government's attempt to jail Ed for the crime of saving lives by mounting
picket lines at U.S. Embassies around the world. 50 to 100 protestors are
expected at several of the embassies. The Paris Global Cannabis Coordinator
suggested Wednesday as the most convenient day when we can expect to have a
verdict in Ed's case.

Ed Rosenthal Found Guilty -- New Trial Sought

Friday, January 31 -- In front of a crowd of spectators and supporters, many
of whom sobbed as the verdict was read, noted author and activist Ed
Rosenthal was convicted in federal court today of marijuana cultivation
charges.

Upon leaving the courthouse with his family, a subdued but defiant Mr.
Rosenthal was greeted by a mob of cameras, microphones and well-wishers. He
and his attorneys vowed to fight on, saying this was a struggle for
patients' rights that would win out in the end.

While he was found guilty of all three counts, the most serious related to
conspiracy to grow more than a thousand plants, and on that count the jury
found that he had conspired to grow more than a hundred but less than the
thousand the indictment had specified -- a finding defense attorneys counted
as a victory.

That leaves his conviction for cultivation of more than a hundred plants as
the offense with the stiffest penalty, with a sentencing range of from 5 to
40 years and a fine of up to $2 million dollars.

But after dismissing the jury, Judge Charles Breyer said that he would be
conducting his own "independent inquiry" into determining whether he could
make a "downward departure" on the sentencing, meaning impose less than the
minimum sentence mandated by law. Such an inquiry would be to determine Mr.
Rosenthal's eligibility for an extraordinary exception to normal sentencing.

Judge Breyer noted the extraordinary circumstances of the case in rejecting
the motion of Assistant U.S. Attorney George Bevan, Jr. to have Mr.
Rosenthal placed in immediate detention.

Judge Breyer granted Defense Counsel Robert Eye and William Simpich an
additional 30 days beyond the normal ten to file their request for a new
trial. He also set the sentencing date as June 4th, much farther out than is
normal.

The nearly six months until sentencing should allow enough time for the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to decide the appeal of another of Judge
Breyer's cases that dealt with a similar question of immunity from
prosecution in the context of medical marijuana distribution. Mr. Rosenthal
had made a nearly identical claim in his case, which Judge Breyer had
refused to allow. If the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturns Judge
Breyer's interpretation of the federal statute, as he himself said they very
well might, it would guarantee that Mr. Rosenthal's conviction would be
overturned.

Jurors told the press that while they'd been distressed by the verdict
they'd reached, they'd felt their hands were tied. The jury foreman said he,
for one, hoped their decision would be reversed on appeal.
