SCOREBOARD: THIS WEEK'S WINNERS AND LOSERS

Winners: Defense lawyers for pot growers score: The Portland Police
Bureau decided to give up the dirt on its use of a trap-and-trace device to
catch pot growers phoning a local agricultural-supply store. With that
once-secret information, defense lawyers hope to challenge the charges
against their clients by arguing that the use of the device was illegal. But
the battle is far from over. The city wants the information kept
confidential, which could hurt the defense's case.
