Not Guilty Medical Marijuana Section 8 Jury Trial in Oakland County
In what is believed to be the first not guilty using section 8 of the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act in the Oakland County Circuit Court, attorney Jim Amberg fought and defeated the nefarious Oakland County Prosecutor's Office by securing a not guilty verdict for his client charged with felony possession with the intent to deliver marijuana. In a case that Jim originally won at a motion hearing, but was later overturned by the Court of Appeals, the client was busted with 17 marijuana plants, jars of marijuana, and a full blown grow operation. What the cops didn't understand was that the client had recently obtained and received his medical marijuana card for his issues with TMJ. At the trial, and without any doctors, Jim was able to show the jury why his client needed his medicine. After a short deliberation, the jury came back with a not guilty!!!
