The national cable television station Court TV will be televising the trial of Johann Moore. Moore is the coordinator of the New York City Medical Buyers Club, a small organization that supplies marijuana as a therapeutic agent to seriously ill patients who possess a doctor’s recommendation. He was arrested this past August and charged with one count of felony sales.
Moore’s televised case will present testimony from a number of expert witnesses on the medicinal value of marijuana such as Harvard Medical School Professor and international authority on medical marijuana, NORML board member Dr. Lester Grinspoon, CUNY Medical School Professor and NORML board member Dr. John Morgan, and Dr. Tod Mikuriya. This will be the first ever televised trail regarding medical marijuana. The trial is expected to begin in early April.
