Medical Marijuana Cancer Patient Wins Freedom to Medicate
Bob Crouse Celebrates Victory, But Can't Go Home Because of Wildfire Threat
For immediate release: June 29, 2012
Medical Marijuana Patient Bob Crouse NOT GUILTY on All Charges
{Colorado Springs, CO} -- Leukemia patient Bob Crouse celebrates a victory
to use cannabis as his cancer treatment of choice. In a battle for his life
that lasted over a year, on Friday, June 29, 2012 at 4:20pm, a jury of 12
El Paso County residents declared Crouse to be "not guilty" on all charges.

Crouse calls his win a "huge victory in Colorado for all patients."
*Background*
Crouse had been charged by El Paso County District Attorney Dan May of
felony cultivation and distribution of marijuana. Crouse had been treating
his leukemia with a preparation of cannabis called "Phoenix Tears",
developed by Canadian cancer patient Rick Simpson.

Blood tests showed that in the months when Crouse has been able to obtain
and ingest a consistent supply of Phoenix Tears, his leukemia cell count
has decreased by HALF since his original diagnosis in 2007.
Crouse's treatment required him to cultivate up to 75 plants at a time. At
his trial, his physician testified that this was a reasonable number of
plants for Bob to use to produce his treatment. The Colorado Constitution
states that medical marijuana patients can have as much marijuana as
medically necessary and that it is up to the patient to decide what that
amount is.
Additionally, cannabis expert Dr. Robert Melamede of Cannabis Science
testified that cannabis does indeed kill cancer cells.

The jury deliberated for less than 4 hours, which included a 1.5 hour lunch
*Juries Are the Last Line of Defense*
It has been said that juries are the last line of defense between a citizen
and a tyrannical government, and that is exactly what we were seeing here
in Colorado.
This is the second high-profile medical marijuana case to result in a jury
acquittal in El Paso County this month. On June 11, medical marijuana
caregiver Elisa Kappelmann was found not guilty on marijuana cultivation
charges. El Paso County is generally seen as one of the more conservative
counties in the state, but even conservatives have no tolerance for a rogue
government prosecuting cancer patients for trying to heal themselves.
Despite a medical marijuana law that was enacted over 12 years ago to
protect patients, the state of Colorado has ramped up its prosecution of
medical marijuana cases to a record level. It is up to the juries to toss
these cases out, and they are standing up to their duty statewide.
There have been several other jury acquittals of medical marijuana patients
in other districts.
In Jefferson County in May 2012, medical marijuana caregiver Josh Jones was
acquitted by a jury of 12 after he was forced to endure not one, but two
trials.

In Adams County in October 2011, medical marijuana caregiver Richard
Wainwright was acquitted by a jury of 12.

In Boulder County in August 2009, patient Jason Lauve was acquitted by a
jury of 12.
*Wasting Taxpayer Money*
The prosecution of Elisa Kappelmann was estimated to cost at least
$100,000, and she paid for her own attorney.
http://blogs.westword.com/latestwor...isa_kappelmann_acquitted_colorado_springs.php
Crouse's trial lasted 5 days. Bob was represented by the El Paso County's
Public Defender's Office, and prosecuted by the El Paso County District
Attorney, so taxpayers got to foot the bill for both the prosecution and
the defense.
*FIRE EVACUATION FUNDS NEEDED*
Bob has also been forced to evacuate his home due to Colorado wildfires.
Please send donations to celebrate this victory help support Bob and his
90-year-old mother, who have been displaced by the fires. The trial was a
huge emotional and financial burden on them both, and the evacuation only
adds to the stress. Please be generous.
