UK: T-shirt trouble for lawyer
Brighton & Hove Argus
Thursday 10 Oct 2002 A lawyer has run into trouble with prison governors by producing a T- shirt for clients advocating the legalisation of cannabis. Some inmates on remand at Lewes prison wanted to wear the shirts but prison chiefs have banned them. Criminal lawyer Ronnie Tremlett said the shirts, which say "A little weed never did us any harm", were made as a promotional joke. He said: "They are a bit of fun but I do support the decriminalisation of cannabis." Mr Tremlett ran foul of the authorities two years ago when he produced another banned T-shirt which carried the words "I didn't do it! Nobody saw me do it! You can't prove anything!" A prison spokesman said at the time: "T-shirts often carry simple logos but we would not allow anything that is not in the interests of good order in the prison." Mr Tremlett, who has offices in Grand Parade, Brighton, said the latest shirts, which carry his name and phone number on the back, were a light- hearted way of adverting.
