- martinmeba, on 05/16/2009, -10/+82Last time I checked, marijuana was not a narcotic...
- thewonster, on 05/16/2009, -6/+61"In U.S. legal context, the term "narcotic" specifically refers to opium, opium derivatives, and their semi-synthetic or fully synthetic substitutes as well as cocaine and coca leaves."
"Deputy Ino Badillo said, "It doesn't matter who you are. You can't be in possession of narcotics. Period.""
What a ***** idiot. - KimmyGibbler, on 05/16/2009, -5/+57This woman is an idiot, and it's very hard to feel bad for her even if I do agree that marijuana should be legal. She's a lawyer and should know that carrying two ounces in a courthouse isn't cool (even though it should be). Why didn't she just leave her weed in the car? How does she not know that most court houses search you for weapons, and will likely find your stash if you bring it in? Dumbass
- Cycline3, on 05/16/2009, -5/+48Legalize.
- OfNumbers, on 05/16/2009, -1/+38Nope, they just kinda sit around the Courthouse all day.
- searcade, on 05/16/2009, -3/+31Two ounces? why so much
- jbob2000, on 05/17/2009, -2/+27Two Ounces. Two ***** ounces. Wow. That's a ***** of weed to be carrying in your bag.
- wjappe, on 05/16/2009, -3/+27Doesn't the court house cops have something better to do?
- MoDiggity455, on 05/16/2009, -3/+27I hear there's a vacancy on the High Court...
- oda1, on 05/17/2009, -1/+23"Where's your attorney?"
"She was arrested with lots of weed, your honor" - inactive, on 05/17/2009, -1/+18Legalize it, but you don't go carrying 2 ***** ounces of marijuana into a courtroom while it's still illegal.
Maybe we should legalize common sense first? - greenlight2001, on 05/17/2009, -2/+16Police use the word very loosely, and wrongly, to mean any illegal drug.
- inactive, on 05/17/2009, -1/+15What do you mean? Are you suggesting that she's a prosecutor? She's actually a fairly high-profile defense attorney (in her community, anyway), so I'm curious how she's "assisted in ruining [lives] over this same kind of *****."
- Oea420, on 05/17/2009, -0/+13This story doesn't seem right.
Why would a lawyer, who I'd assume goes into the same building every day, bring 2oz of dank into a courthouse?
Even the most idiotic of the kids here know to not bring their drugs when they're going to court.
The real kicker? She put it in her purse! And brought in a METAL PIPE? ALL COURTHOUSES HAVE METAL DETECTORS AND XRAY YOUR BAGS
she coudl've had a glass piece and kept the weed and pipe in her pocket and been fine
wtf? - keyforce, on 05/17/2009, -0/+12Cops don't know the law, they just know what they can arrest you for.
- marx2k, on 05/17/2009, -2/+13Thanks to tons of misinformation, narcotic is an umbrella term for drugs :/
- mitrovarr, on 05/17/2009, -3/+13An attorney, of all people, would know better. I find it hard to believe there's not something more going on with this case.
- keyforce, on 05/17/2009, -0/+9There's gotta be something up with this.
In Texas anyway, 2 ounces is where the charge increases. This lady is an attorney and knew the law.
If she was making a point, I don't get it. - inactive, on 05/17/2009, -0/+9Agree. I'd definitely fire her after this, views on legalization notwithstanding. A trial lawyer is nothing without good judgment.
- UBERMAN5000, on 05/17/2009, -1/+9We don't cover how to hide your drugs in law school...
- lagoamedia, on 05/16/2009, -3/+11Here's your sign.
- marx2k, on 05/17/2009, -1/+9"Metal pipes are more durable and therefore easier to clean, stash or toss without breaking plus they are cheaper."
Glass is very easy to clean. Sea salt + rubbing alcohol + ziplock bag. Takes all of 3 minutes.
"This makes them ideal candidates for travel even when you do have glass."
Hope you're not walking through too many metal detectors with that.
"Why waste an extra $20-80 on a glass bowl that will last a fraction as long when one could have spent it on an extra 1/4-1oz of weed"
The same reason I don't skimp on the cost of weed: for me, smoking out of metal tastes like *****.
Also, why are you breaking your glass bowls all the time? Be more careful. Mine last a damn long time. If you're really that worried about it, get one made from Pyrex. - justok, on 05/17/2009, -1/+9@garrettg84
good lawyer, sentences reduced - MacGyver2210, on 05/17/2009, -1/+8"good lawyer, sentences reduced"
"My client makes no admission of seeing what you did there, however, he concedes that someone might have seen what you did there." - MrColdheart, on 05/17/2009, -1/+8If your going to leave the house roll a joint or two and put it in a pack of cigarettes.
And leave your damn bowl and stash at home. - garrettg84, on 05/17/2009, -2/+8in complete sentences help sometime people understand you say
- ImOnYourTeam, on 05/17/2009, -0/+6She was set up.
- kokoshka, on 05/17/2009, -0/+6No. Bad. Harmful chemicals.
- bsmang, on 05/17/2009, -4/+10She must have been *really* high.
- ImOnYourTeam, on 05/17/2009, -0/+6She was set up. Other than drug dealers, who the hell do you know that carries around 2 ounces?

- keyforce, on 05/17/2009, -0/+5Your weed must taste so horrible if a can makes it endurable.
- ZhiZaki, on 05/17/2009, -1/+6Maybe she had just got back from collecting evidence or possibly just paying her dealer a visit
- Maddoktor2, on 05/17/2009, -0/+5"But...but...it's evidence, officer!"
"It is now, ma'am." - staticfire, on 05/17/2009, -0/+4well no *****..
- inactive, on 05/17/2009, -0/+4They only charged her with 2 ounces? Who took the other 2 ounces?
- twiztidsinz, on 05/17/2009, -0/+4@abk0100: Why?
They both put peoples lives/livelyhoods at stake.... - itc518, on 05/17/2009, -2/+6What a dumbass.
- inactive, on 05/17/2009, -0/+4uhuh.. sounds real plausible that.. definite plant. obviously pissed of some cops.
- alacran7, on 05/17/2009, -2/+6it
- darkciti2, on 05/17/2009, -2/+6When officers of the court (attorneys) are getting busted for possession, it's time to ***** legalize it.
- inactive, on 05/17/2009, -1/+5As someone who has been to court a few times I can answer that question.
A person has to have complete control of their faculties to be tried. When you are asked how you plea, the following question asks if you have, in the past 24 hours, done any drinking or used any drugs. If you have, the court is legally unable to accept your plea. So, if you show up to your court appearance with alcohol on your breath, you just wasted the court's time and money. I'm not saying whether or not I agree with this, but its the way it is.
"If drinking interfered with court proceedings because he was belligerent or passed out or failed a mental-faculty test I would understand a charge but not otherwise"
If he were allowed to enter a plea, while the court knew he had been drinking, his lawyer could have the entire case against him dropped. - KSUdesigner, on 05/17/2009, -0/+3That depends what happens at her trial. If she gets herself out of it, then damn right you call that woman up when you get busted. She may have been stupid to be carrying that much with her, but she knows her way around the legal system if she gets out of it.
- Sherman901, on 05/17/2009, -1/+4I prefer glass over metal. Metal gets hot, it tastes different and glass just always looks way cooler.
- smotpoker, on 05/17/2009, -4/+7I saw some officers and judge lock this one guy up for contempt because he had alcohol on his breath. As soon as he admitted to having a beer when they asked him, they put him in cuffs. When the judge came out and found out why she sentenced him to 5 days over it.
I forget what he was there for originally (if I ever found out) but thought it was kinda messed up... alcohol is legal, he wasn't stumbling around or belligerent and he didn't have an open container in the building or something. I suppose drinking could impair one's mental faculties to the point legal decisions/agreements might be called questioning but not from the one beer he admitted, he wasn't drunk enough to be obvious and they didn't give him any tests at all.
Seems to me like contempt charges should only apply when people are intentionally insulting/disorderly/disobedient, not because they refuse to partake in arcane rituals or do things they are legally permitted to on their own time. If drinking interfered with court proceedings because he was belligerent or passed out or failed a mental-faculty test I would understand a charge but not otherwise - magnus3d, on 05/17/2009, -3/+6They refer to 2 ounces as a baggie, lol that must be one ***** huge baggie... Bet there is maybe MAX 4 or 5 grams (like $100 worth) but cops just love to over exaggerated things.
OMG Johnson! He has a bong packed with weed, thats at least 500 billion dollars worth! The streets are safe once more. - inactive, on 05/17/2009, -0/+3Can't see how you were dugg down. Someone must be really offended at the thought of using this "common sense" you speak of ;)
I smoke a lot, but it hasn't dulled my senses enough to know that (un)wittingly carrying 2oz. into court is really ***** stupid. While I can sympathize, it makes me wonder just what else this dim-witted attorney has overlooked in her career. Not so sure I'd want somebody with such a lack of awareness arguing my case. - ImOnYourTeam, on 05/17/2009, -0/+3I have a feeling 2 ounces is *****. And if it was in a bag, you'd be able to smell it.
- GenerousLinus, on 05/18/2009, -0/+3All true, but any non-retarded lawyer wouldn't carry *any* amount into a courthouse. It's just inconceivable.
