On Wednesday, Krieger's case was set over until the April 9 arraignments at Alberta Court of Queen's Bench. Lawyers are waiting for the Supreme Court of Canada to decide whether it will hear a Crown appeal of Krieger's acquittal on a charge of cultivation of the drug he uses for medical purposes. In December, the Alberta Court of Appeal upheld the original ruling of two years ago, in which a judge said it was unconstitutional for the federal government to prevent Krieger from being able to obtain marijuana to alleviate pain caused by his multiple sclerosis. - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
