Ed Forchion is an alleged marijuana dealer in the state of New Jersey. Or at least he was until very recently! A jury unanimously voted to drop the charges brought against Mr. Forchion. This man was recently found guilty of possession, but a new jury was needed to decide whether or not this Weedman intended to sell the weed. Needless to say, Forchion is ecstatic about the outcome.
Ed Forchion’s Marijuana Charges
When a jury was originally deciding this man’s fate, they all found him guilty of marijuana possession. However, they were deadlocked as to whether or not he intended to sell the weed. Forchion had over a pound of weed in his car but he claimed that he only had it for medical purposes. Apparently, he made a convincing argument because the jury dropped the intent to sell charges. The Weedman also tried to pull some kind of jury nullification defense, but this was quickly ousted by the presiding judge. After a rocky trial, most of the important worked out for him. Forchion has been cleared of all charges related to marijuana distribution. This at least is something for this tired man to rejoice about.
The Outcome
Just because we don’t like the way someone lives, is no excuse to tell them how to live their life. The Weedman might like to smoke a lot of weed, as his name suggests, but who are we to say that’s wrong? A pound is certainly a lot of marijuana, there’s no denying that. But weed tolerance is a proven result of habitual smoking, so he may actually need that much over an extended period of time. All I’m trying to say is that you can’t judge a book by its cover. The jury in this case certainly didn’t do that as the were able to drop the distribution charges brought on the New Jersey Weedman.
