Narcotics cops are committing fraud in Michigan -- masquerading as medical marijuana patients -- and they're getting away with it.
The Michigan Supreme Court last month denied Jeffery Miller's Application for Leave to Appeal, leaving undisturbed the trial court's opinion denying him of all his medical marijuana defenses at trial. The case has since been assigned to a new trial judge, and that judge will rule on the prosecutions' renewed motion on Friday, April 25.
The trial court is expected to rule that Miller (AKA "Otto Roxx" will be stripped of all medical defenses at trial, and precluded from even mentioning medical marijuana.
The "crime" of which Miller is accused is that an undercover cop entrapped him, pretending to be a suffering patient with no access to medical marijuana. The officer tricked Miller into selling him cannabis after showing him a forged patient card and matching driver's license.
"The increasingly common law enforcement practice of using falsified medical marijuana registry patient cards to entice law abiding citizens is unconscionable," said Daniel W. Grow, lawyer for Miller. "When officers entrap lawful registered caregivers into making transfers of marijuana for medical use, Michigan's citizens must not be deemed felons."
