Judge finds \u2018increasing\u2019 difficulty in seating marijuana juries | Raw Story<\/a>: “It’s becoming more and more difficult to find juries that will produce a guilty verdict in marijuana cases, according to a judge in Missoula County, Montana.<\/p>\n

‘I think it’s going to become increasingly difficult to seat a jury in marijuana cases, at least the ones involving a small amount,’ District Judge Dusty Deschamps said Friday after potential jurors refused to convict a Montana man for having a 1\/16 of an ounce of Marijuana.<\/p>\n

An April 23 search of Touray Cornell’s home found several used marijuana joints, a pipe, and some residue. He’s is also charged with the criminal distribution of dangerous drugs.<\/p>\n

Cornell’s neighbors had called the police because they thought he was selling drugs. The defendant admitted in an affidavit that he had distributed small amounts of marijuana.<\/p>\n

One potential juror after another told the court that they would not convict the man for possessing a 1\/16 of an ounce.<\/p>\n

Deputy Missoula County Attorney Andrew Paul told the Associated Press that the jurors staged ‘a mutiny.'”<\/p>\n
