PRINCE OF POT IN PLEA BARGAIN
Marc Emery, Vancouver's self-styled Prince of Pot, has tentatively
agreed to a five-year prison term in a plea bargain over U.S. money
laundering and marijuana seed-selling charges. Facing an extradition
hearing Jan. 21 and the all-but-certain prospect of delivery to
American authorities, Emery has cut a deal with U.S. prosecutors to
serve his sentence in Canada.
He also hopes it will save his two co-accused -- Michelle Rainey and
Greg Williams. The three were arrested in August 2005 at the request
of the United States.
