GUILTY VERDICT IN CASE OF YIPPIE CAUGHT WITH 155 POUNDS OF POT
LINCOLN - One of the original members of the '60s revolutionary
group, the Yippies, was found guilty this week of possession of
marijuana with intent to deliver after being caught with 155 pounds
of baled pot in a van at Ashland, Neb.
Saunders County District Judge Mary Gilbride, in an order dated
Tuesday, also rejected, for the second time the use of a "choice of
evils" defense by Dana Beal, 65, of New York City, a long-time
advocate for using marijuana as medicine, and the official historian
of the Yippie Museum.
Beal, at a trial last month, admitted he was a passenger three years
ago in a van carrying the marijuana.
