Grant Krieger, 49, was charged with possessing marijuana for the purpose of trafficking in connection with a raid on his house in 1999 during which 29 cannabis plants were seized. His lawyer, Adriano Iovinelli, told court that his client was growing the plants to distribute to people who suffer from Lou Gehrig's Disease, terminal cancer and HIV/AIDS infection. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
