JURY CLEARS POT CRUSADER
Medical marijuana crusader Grant Krieger was justified in breaking the law
and selling pot to chronically ill people, a Calgary jury ruled last
night. It accepted defence lawyer Adriano Iovinelli's argument that
Krieger, who has multiple sclerosis, was saving lives when he supplied
marijuana to the sick. The 46-year-old was cleared of possession for the
purpose of trafficking.
