SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Federal prosecutors said Friday they would retry a marijuana grower known as the "guru of ganja," even after a federal judge urged them to drop the case.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer demanded to know who in the Justice Department made the decision to continue pursuing Ed Rosenthal, whose conviction was overturned last year.
Rosenthal, 62, cannot be sentenced to prison even if he is convicted again because an appeals court upheld the one-day prison sentence imposed by Breyer in 2003. The trial is set for May 14.
"This isn't a criminal case; this is a political case," said Rosenthal, who appeared in court in a blue wizard's robe emblazoned with a golden marijuana leaf. "I may as well get my money's worth and have a trial."
Rosenthal was convicted in 2003 of growing hundreds of plants for a city of Oakland medical marijuana program. The conviction was thrown out last year because a juror committed misconduct by consulting a lawyer on how to decide the case. |

Then again, guess "Let the Eagle Soar" John Ashcroft's noble Operation "Pipe Dreams"

One sad thing of course is that even after bleeding off, pissing away countless tax-payers earnings,
AmeriKa's state "JUSTICE" crowd still haven't managed to find Osama Bush-Laden 
Go figure, eh? |
