US MT: Three Men Get 1-Year Sentences For Medical Marijuana
Helena Independent Record, 16 Dec 2011 - Three men who openly operated medical marijuana businesses in Helena and Great Falls were sentenced in federal court Thursday to a year in prison. In an emotionally charged hearing, Senior U.S. District Court Judge Charles Lovell handed down the prison terms to Joshua Schultz, Jesse Leland and Jason Burns. About 75 friends and family members who packed into the federal courthouse in Helena were hoping the judge would take the recommendation of probation made by the men's attorneys, but also feared that the judge might impose a mandatory minimum sentence of five years or even the maximum of 40 years.
