Something for next year's ballots - Oakland and San Rafael will be where I focus my efforts to ban red light cameras - Faulty and unfair!

A jury unanimously acquitted Doug Darrell, a 59-year-old Rastafarian charged with marijuana cultivation, after his lawyer, Mark Sisti, argued that a conviction would be unjust in light of the fact that Darrell was growing cannabis for his own religious and medicinal use. More remarkably, Judge James O'Neill instructed the jury that "even if you find that the State has proven each and every element of the offense charged beyond a reasonable doubt, you may still find the defendant not guilty if you have a conscientious feeling that a not guilty verdict would be a fair result in this case." Hell Yeah! We need a bill like this in CA - would probably solve some part of our prison over-crowding problem, too :) http://reason.com//new-hampshire-jury-acquits-pot-growing-r

Stuart J. Rabner, the state supreme court’s chief justice, wrote in a unanimous 134-page decision that the test for reliability of eyewitness testimony, as set out by the United States Supreme Court 34 years ago, should be revised. Yay-yuh! In fear for your life but you are 100% sure that was the guy? Not believable to me (though I am a professional skeptic ;)... http://www.nytimes.com//in-new-jersey-rules-changed-on-wit

"Ms. Burgos told the truth to police and to prosecutors. Jurors were the only ones who listened," Harris said in a statement. "We are so grateful to them. They are truly the conscience of the community." San Francisco juries are legendary for their reasonableness :)
