TUOLUMNE D.A. PROMISES TO DISMISS MYRON MOWER CASE

For 36 tortuous hours Myron Mower and his wife rode a roller coaster of
fear. A court order, delivered ominously on 9/11, was signed in ink by Judge
Du Temple and until then, the D.A. had refused to indicate his intentions.
The Mowers certainly had every reason to be fearful.

Fortunately, Professor Gerald Uelmen, who represented Mr. Mower when he
appeared before the California State Supreme Court, spoke to John Hansen,
the Deputy District Attorney for Tuolumne County and was told that they will
move to dismiss on October 1st.

Mr. Mower doesn't even have to be present in court on October 1st, although
he may want to go just to see final justice achieved in his case.

"While we are delighted with the outcome of this case, a malignant hostility
towards sick people who rely upon cannabis as a medicine is still endemic
throughout the entire criminal justice system. Indeed, the threat of
excessive force now characterizes nearly every contact the medical cannabis
community has with law enforcement and the courts," said Steve Kubby,
spokesman for the American Medical Marijuana Association.
