Prosecutors remained steadfast in their opposition to yet another delay in a trial that once was slated to begin in July 1999. When the case was first scheduled to begin in July, however, Michele Kubby developed complications during pregnancy and the case was put off until February. Roeder the third judge to be bounced off the case by preemptory strikes allowed the Kubbys to fire their attorneys in early March. But when the two sides appeared before Roeder Monday, Michele Kubby was without representation, having been unable to reach a financial agreement with attorney Eric Berg. That, I'm sure, will be exploited.
People make mistakes they forget things.
Outside the courtroom, the Kubbys expressed frustration at the delay but said it was necessary so their attorneys could prepare for a trial that they hope will challenge Placer County law enforcement agent's opposition to the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 passed by state voters as Proposition 215. We are ready to go and we have the right judge. I think it is quite absurd,and somewhat disturbing,that we have prosecutors involved in such a vigorous effort to crush people like the Kubbys'.I think it is an indicator of how sick and twisted our justice system has become. The only reason this is being persued in this manner,is the corrupt influence of federal and state big money lobbyists. We do not own nor are responsible for visitor comments.
