Canada: A defiant Marc Emery begins journey toward five-year U.S. prison term on drug charges

Vancouver Sun

Tuesday 29 Sep 2009

Marc Emery was escorted out of B.C. Supreme Court and into jail Monday to await extradition to the U.S.

His wife wailed and wept in the public gallery while cannabis crusaders who crowded the tiny courtroom chanted: "Free Marc Emery!"

As he was led away, Emery yelled to his wife: "I love you Jody Emery. Plant the seeds of freedom -- over grow the government."

He will be held for 30 days to give him time to appeal. Then, after the federal justice minister has signed the removal order, he'll be handed over to the U.S.

He has agreed to a five-year imprisonment plea-bargain for drug and money laundering charges laid in 2005 in connection with his $3-million-a-year marijuana seed catalogue business. Most of his customers were American.
