People v. Creative Farmer (2010) Placer County
Client was charged with possession for sale and cultivation of marijuana, as well as evading the police, \ after he and his cousins were caught stealing over 1000 plants cultivated by another in a national forest located in Placer County. During the theft, client attempted to evade the police but was eventually apprehended. In the end, Margolin & Lawrence successfully negotiated a deal where the client would merely plead to a misdemeanor theft.
Note from Al: Even if you did not cultivate the marijuana yourself, as the case here, you may still be charged with violating Health and Safety Code § 11358 - cultivation of marijuana.
