BE Smith
|
54 year old two time Vietnam vet and Grandfather to 19 who just
served 27 months for growing 87 plants under Prop 215. The prosecution admitted that he would not have been prosecuted if he hadn't exercised his constitutional rights of free speech and appears in the press
to say what he'd been doing. He told the Judge at sentencing that he walked the point in Vietnam, that he served his country then and he would do his time as a
service to those persons for whom a prison
term would be a death sentence.
Judge Burrell in federal court in Sacramento found BE Smith had no remorse and sentenced him to the maximum - the Judge even gave BE an extra 7 months for being in a High Times
article - the added 7 months was later overturned on appeal AFTER BE did the time.

In Memory of Laura J. Carden
|
Never Stop Fighting…
Or Caring…Jay R. Cavanaugh, PhD
It is not enough to say Laura Carden (LJ) was my friend. The old truck driver with the bent spine and 49’er jersey was more than a friend. She was, and is, an inspiration. In a
day of phony politicians, institutional indifference, general complacency, and everyday dishonesty, LJ was a breath of fresh air. MORE
