CANNABIS POSSESSION CHARGE VICTORY FOR MS SUFFERER PAUL RODDY
Multiple Sclerosis sufferer Paul Roddy is celebrating victory today
after another charge of illegally possessing cannabis against him was
dropped.
Last Thursday, Mr Roddy, 41, of Biddeford Court, Baguley,
Wythenshawe, was cleared by a jury at Manchester Crown Court of
having 15 pounds of the drug, which he uses for pain relief, but was
re-arrested for an identical charge as he left the dock. The Crown
Prosecution Service has decided it is "not in the public interest" to
proceed with the case.
