Florida Jury Nullification: Woman Found 'Not Guilty' of Medical Marijuana Cultivation

[Kotin]

"...Bridget Kirouac, a medical marijuana patient who relocated from Maine to Florida, and who suffers from debilitating bone spurs, was found not guilty of cultivating medical marijuana in her Martin County home..."

Informing the sympathetic jury, “I’m not a criminal, I’m a patient,” Kirouac told the attentive courtroom. “All I’m trying to do is survive.” Kirouac used marijuana

Kirouac explained to the courtroom that she was an MMJ patient in the state of Maine with a valid recommendation for medical marijuana before relocating to the Sunshine State for its warmer climate. She held back tears while explaining her struggle with pain. “When you get to that point, and you tried as many of the options that are available to you as I have…dying becomes a very attractive prospect,” she said.

Good. It's sickening that she even had to be subjected to arrest and trial over a plant.

Who would prosecute that to begin with ? Time to get rid of 'em .

In 2014, deputies arrested the Martin County woman after they followed her home from a hydroponics store on suspicion that she was growing marijuana.

Deputies searched her home and found 20 marijuana plants.

Hydroponics is probable cause? O_o

However, she says she had a reason.

Kirouac, who moved here from Maine, claims she suffers from several serious medical ailments.

Who cares? I've got reasons for smoking weed, too. It just shouldn't be illegal.

Hydroponics is probable cause?

Breathing is probable cause in AmeriKa.

Now, move the $#@! along.

Nice to see some good news though.

I just hope some of the fellas defending the cops in the titty shaking thread don't have wives or daughters into hydroponics.

I'm sure they're all upstanding citizens and they and their family would never dream of breaking the law.

If this happened on a regular basis across the country the police state would wither and die. But boobus can't get the concept of liberty through their thick skulls.
