 Richard Marino at an earlier appearance
The sentencing was the culmination of an investigation of Marino’s Roseville dispensary, Capitol Compassionate Care, which was raided in September 2004 by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Internal Revenue Service. Marino has been a compliant defendant in the meantime, submitting to the civil forfeiture proceedings that claimed his five-acre home in Newcastle as well as a significant sum of cash. He also provided the government with enough information towards other criminal investigations to qualify for a sizeable sentence reduction.

SACRAMENTO, CA -- Plumas County medical marijuana defendants Jeffre Sanderson and Alice Wiegand were sentenced to prison terms in Sacramento federal court today. Sanderson, who is currently in custody at the Sacramento County Jail, received a 24-month sentence. Wiegand was sentenced to six months but permitted to delay her surrender until December 1st. This provision was granted because the couple’s two young children are being returned to her by Child Protective Services on April 28th, and Wiegand must keep them in her custody for the next six months in order to prevent them from being adopted out. The family home and farm has already been lost to forfeiture, and Judge Frank C. Damrell Jr. said that he didn’t want the family to also lose their children to adoption procedures.

 Jessica Sanders
Instead, Sanders signed and accepted a plea bargain in court yesterday, finalizing what was a very difficult choice. Her role in the business had been a minor one – she took the phone orders for Tainted Inc.’s marijuana-infused food products – but she was charged with a felony nonetheless. At the time of her arraignment, she felt inclined to take a plea bargain and get the case resolved as soon as possible. But shortly afterward, she began to consider the possibility of going to trial and fighting her charge. A felony conviction, after all, carries a slew of grave consequences, and Sanders had to be sure that she could accept this fate.Be first to comment this article | Quote this article on your site | Read more... |
