JURY CONVICTS PAIR ON MARIJUANA CHARGES DESPITE MEDICAL CLAIMS 23 May 2002 Sacramento Bee A Sacramento Superior Court jury Thursday convicted two men of harvesting marijuana, but acquitted them of raising the pot to sell to others.  Michael C.  Urziceanu and Michael T.  Reitmeier, both 37, claimed they were medical-marijuana patients who grew the pot legally for their own use under provisions of Proposition 215.  The two, however, were also convicted of possession of marijuana for personal use.  "What this verdict means to me is that the jury rejected the medical defense," said Deputy District Attorney Caroline Park.  [Remainder snipped]
