NO NEW TRIAL FOR MODESTO POT VENDORS
A federal court has denied the request for a new trial by two Modesto
men convicted on federal drug charges for operating a medical
marijuana dispensary.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco has
affirmed the convictions and sentences of Ricardo Montes, 29, and Luke
Scarmazzo, 29, the U.S. attorney's office for California's Eastern
District said Tuesday in a news release.
Scarmazzo and Montes had appealed because they claimed the trial judge
made a mistake by not granting them a new trial after a juror read and
discussed during deliberations a summary of a newspaper article on the
marijuana policies of presidential hopefuls.
