KUBBY JURY STILL OUT; ONE CHARGE REJECTED

AUBURN -- While jurors were deliberating the fate of medical marijuana 
advocates Steve and Michele Kubby on Friday, the judge who presided over 
their trial dismissed one more of the eight remaining counts against the pair.

Placer County Superior Court Judge John L. Cosgrove adopted a defense 
request to dismiss a charge that the Kubbys were in possession of hashish 
on the day drug agents raided their Squaw Valley home and found 265 
marijuana plants in various stages of growth.

The jury still must decide if the Kubbys were guilty of seven other 
allegations, including two counts of conspiracy, cultivation and possession 
for sale, or if their grow was for personal medicinal use only.

Deliberations will resume Monday morning.
