Friends of Charles C. Lynch

[Interceptor]

I came across this website.
Apparently Mr. Lynch is being treated unfairly by the US court system.
(I do not condemn nor condone medical use of marijuana, I am only concerned with due process of law, and excessive sentencing.)

Morro Bay medical marijuana dispenser Charles Lynch was found guilty by a Los Angeles Federal Court jury Aug. 5 for five counts of violating federal drug laws in a trial that stirred controversy.



Lynch, 46, who will be sentenced Oct. 20, could face a mandatory minimum of five years or up to a maximum of 85 years in federal prison for possession with the intent to distribute, criminal conspiracy, maintaining a drug house and two counts of selling to people younger than 21, considered minors under federal law, an offense that carries a sentencing enhancement.



Although growing and selling marijuana for medical reasons is allowed in some cases under California law, it is illegal to possess or distribute any marijuana under federal law, which overrules state laws.

Mandatory minimums are the worst idea ever. Judicial discretion yields true justice.
