CN MB: Judge Tough On Grow Operation
ccguide Thursday 23 Mar 2000 Pubdate: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 Source: Winnipeg Free Press (CN MB) Copyright: 2000 Winnipeg Free Press Contact: Address: 1355 Mountain Avenue, Winnipeg Manitoba R2X 3B6 Fax: (204) 697-7288 Feedback: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/letters_to_editor/index.html Website: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/ JUDGE TOUGH ON GROW OPERATION VANCOUVER -- A Winnipeg man has been sentenced in Vancouver to two years in jail for growing pot -- eight times the sentence sought by the Crown. The judge said yesterday he decided on a tougher sentence because of the proliferation of marijuana grow operations in British Columbia and the increasing problem of home invasions. Police found 131 marijuana plants at the home of Jason Sean Neubert after crooks staged a home invasion there in late 1997. Neubert was convicted of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purposes of trafficking. Justice Allan Stewart said in the past people convicted in pot growing operations have faced insignificant sentences. He also says the courts must react to what he called a "plague of home invasions." - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
