Nineteen year old Devin K Hoerauf was attending court in Rockville, MD, to answer to charges of multiple robbery. As he stood up at the defense table something fell out of his pocket. It turns out the something was a bag full of marijuana.

His lawyer, quick to jump to his defence said ” “He is brain-damaged, your honor,” she said. “I don’t mean he’s just a defendant who does dumb stuff. This is a boy with an IQ in triple digits. His brain is glued together with Silly Putty. He can’t think his way out of a paper bag, but he can do physics.” The lawyer, Gwyn Hoerauf, apparently knows: she’s the defendant’s mother.

The jury missed the marijuana incident, but they still ended up convicting the tean on four robbery counts.

Well the effort to legalize pot in Nevada has gone up in smoke. Nevada voters recently squashed the amentment when voting on a number of ballot issues. Question seven on the ballot called for a measure that would have allowed adults to possess up to one ounce of marijuana legally. The state would have also taxed and regulated the sale of weed.

Do any of my readers live in Nevada? How would you feel if pot had been legalized in your state?

How much pot does it take to get to sleep?

After police found 638 marijuana plants in a Hastings, England, warehouse rented by David Churchward in September, he said he was forced to grow the plants (which would make more than 280,000 marijuana cigarettes) to help his wife, because she has difficulty sleeping. And Reuters reported in September that a farm woman in Lobez, Poland, who had been charged with growing marijuana, said she was forced to because her cow had been acting “skittish and unruly” until she put cannabis in the feed.

I wonder if this little guy has been eating any marijuana munchies, or if he just needs some sleep too?

Lawyer can’t think Logically?

At the Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court in England in July, Andrew Curzon was charged with wrongfully attempting to cash a neighbor’s pension-adjustment check, in the equivalent of about $220,000. The explanation by Curzon (who is a law student) is that he has “dyspraxia,” which renders him unable “to engage in logical thinking.”
