Minnesota Governor vetoes a Legislative Fix to the Bong Water Decision, State v. Peck,

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Minnesota  Governor Tim Pawlenty, in another blow against justice, has vetoed a bill that would have prevented police and prosecutors from charging people with a First Degree Controlled substance offense bringing a 86 month presumptive prison sentence.  See here. and here . In so doing, the Governor admitted that the law as applied is unfair. Yet, he refuses to sign into law a bill providing justice for those unjustly charge under the draconian drug laws sending someone to prison for 7 years!  This also exposes the false claims of Governor Pawlenty to be a fiscal conservative.  If he we really interested in spending our hard-earned tax dollars wisely, then he would not send a minor criminal to Prison for 86 months.  All the prison time for a non-violent drug offender costs all of us taxpayers a LOT of money.

The upshot of all this is that you need a good, hard-nosed, experienced Criminal Defense attorney at your side fighting for you if you are charged with a drug crime.  If you need legal help or legal representation for a drug crime in Minnesota, call 952-913-1421 NOW or visit our website at www.KellerLawOffices.com
