Well they are not getting a gu...Thx Alun, classic.<br /><br />Well they are not getting a guilty plea out of me (it took a few hearings to even get a plea as I maintained that there was no crime for me to defend myself against)<br /><br />My (publicly funded) lawyer has put a motion into the High court in Edinburgh because the judge ignored the fact that the police report contained contradictory evidence, now he says the legal aid bill is in the £,000's and now spans 2 legal firms.<br /><br />I have been in court 4 times now, and will attend at least twice more. The uniformed officers have attended twice and will attend again in February. This at a time when Glasgow is reducing visible patrols and closing stations at night to cut costs.<br /><br />Anyway Alun I'm a big fan of your work, I miss the old LCA website.le rizzlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155027522691073962.post-61514641809312803572011-10-29T17:35:43.663+01:002011-10-29T17:35:43.663+01:00Hi le rizzle - check this out

Accused incredible crime of being in possession of 0.2 grams (not a typo this was literally the contents of my grinder). The officers who charged me while I was busy destroying society from my pocket actually said to me "well it funds terrorism and human trafficking when you go further up the tree"<br /><br />I had to hold myself back from telling him that "the tree" is in my attic, however I did ask him to tell me of one example of terrorism which could be attributed to cannabis in any way. He declined.<br /><br />Keep resisting, keep smoking.le rizzlenoreply@blogger.com
