Piece Description
Somerville, NJ – John Wilson is facing a nightmare scenario: Living with Multiple Sclerosis and without health care he is facing 15-35 years in state prison for growing just seventeen cannabis plants.
Outrage has been generated by the overzealous prosecution on the part of the state Attorney General’s office. John is charged under felony drug manufacturing statues meant for kingpins and not personal use. The final straw came when the judge in the trial refused to let John even mention to the jury that he has MS. Two state Senators have asked for an Executive Pardon.
NORML-New Jersey joined with the CMMNJ in rally to support John 12/14 as jury selection got underway at the Somerset County Courthouse. Although the rally was a success, John continues to face a frightening sentence as the trial moves ahead.
All this comes as the NJ legisalture is poised to pass a medical marijuana bill, making John perhaps the last victim of such draconian prohibition enforcement.
