Mickey and Jessica were sentenced today, no jailtime!
The Honorable Judge Claudia Wilken passed down sentencing for our defendants today meeting hopes of no incarcaration. Both Jessica and Mickey received probation with additional conditions such as a period of monitoring and walked out of the courthouse this afternoon.
Arguments presented by defense were eloquent and did great justice to the cause. Mickey himself jerked tears from every set of eyes in the room except for prosecution and law enforcement - including courtroom staff. Judge Wilken herself seemed to need a moment to center herself. It is one thing to hear or read about a "criminal" who believed he was contributing to the progression of society, but another to hear him struggle to maintain composure while telling stories of suffering patients at a lack of good medicine and crushed dreams of carrying the torch of mmj as a proper, licensed manufacturer of schedule II medication.

Hello folks,
Just sending out a friendly reminder that we at
Compassion Medicinal Edibles are appearing before the
magistrate Wayne D. Brazil to make a general
appearance and find out who the District Judge may be
for sentencing.
Please join us at 1301 Clay St., Oakland, CA in the
courtroom of the Honorable Judge Brazil. It is
important to let the court know that there is
community support for medical cannabis providers and
that we stand in solidarity.
If you are close by please make an effort to come by,
as it would mean a lot to me and my co-defendants. It
is going to be a lovely morning for justice. I can
tell already. I look forward to seeing those of you
who make it.
Kind Regards,
Mickey Martin

Please join us in a show of unity. It is hopeful that we can create awareness with our plight and create a dialogue with the government about safer alternatives of cannabis as a medicine, and begin to create real change for our community. We must hope that the powers at be begin to understand the benefits of cannabis as a medicine and that we can all begin to breath freely in our plight to change the world. Please do come and stand with us in the face of justice and let us begin to create change. We are patients, Not criminals and we must demand that we begin to be treated as such. There is so much at stake not just for ourselves, but for the community. Please do what you can to take some time out of your life to be present for this date. it would mean so much to all of us in harms way. Stand with us in our quest for justice and let the world know we will not stand for this any longer.
