Craig X Rubin, father of 7 and pastor of Temple 420, has been fighting the good fight since 1993. In his two most recent cases he has been acting in pro per. Things are about to change! Jennifer Soares, the hot new face of medical marijuana legal advocates has been retained to take this case to trial. Unlike other seasoned marijuana legal experts, Jennifer's advise is to take individual cases to trial and establish legal precedence and real change through the legal system. There are a few pioneers left in this country with the fortitude to withstand the ostrisidation of community, restriction of freedom and infliction of poverty to stand up for what they believe in. Mr. Rubin is one of those individuals. The District Attorney on the case has offered Mr. Rubin a generous plea deal. But Mr. Rubin and his attorney, Jennifer Soares, have rejected any offer. It is imperative that we show our support for those willing to put their freedom on the line for the greater good of the cause. Please show up to support Mr. Rubin in his efforts to stop the City Attorney and the District Attorney in their unconstitutional eradication tactics.
His trial begins on Thursday February 25, 2010 at the LAX Courthouse at 8:30 AM in Department D. We need as many as you that are available to show up in support of Craig for this court date. Please dress professionally and obey all rules of the court. If you have press contacts, please let them know. KABC has already committed to covering the trial.
