JUDGE PERMITS 'GHOSTS' ON KUBBY JURY When former Laguna Beach resident Steve Kubby goes to the courtroom on Halloween for the continuing trial of the state's most high-profile marijuana case, the jury will be dressed up in costumes, Kubby enthusiastically told The Buzz on Friday. That's right -- witches and clowns and goblins and ghosts and maybe a Johnnie Cochran, for good measure. The Placer County jury made the unusual request of Judge John L. Cosgrove, who said, more or less, Cool. "When we heard that, we thought, 'We won!,'" said Kubby. "If the jury was going to convict people, would they want to dress up?" Kubby, a cancer victim and former gubernatorial candidate, and his wife, Michele, are on trial for possession, cultivation, sale and possession for sale. The Kubbys say the pot was for medicinal purposes, as allowed under the initiative approved by voters in 1996. Both have notes from doctors recommending that they use it for medical conditions.
