State of Arkansas vs. Paul Doke

Dec 15, 2010

OUTCOME: Jury gave no jail time, not even suspended.

Mr. Doke was arrested when he was found growing over 100 marijuana plants in his back yard, some of which were over 15 feet tall. He needed the marijuana medically but evidence of this was not allowed ... because medical marijuana is illegal in Arkansas. He was charged with manufacturing a controlled substance and faced up to 10 years in prison.
