Meh. Possession of marijuana shouldn't be a crime. Though I'd like to whether he had any thundering closing statements about the evils of soft drugs recently.

In New Orleans it technically isn't a crime, it's a petty misdemeanor. The attorney in question was given a ticket.

This was on loweringthebar.net as well with a couple more details.

Of course, in N'Awlins, everything they could possibly lay on him added up to a simple misdemeanor. They're kind of progressive about such things, apparently.

Why didn't he at least say he'd confiscated it from a client or something?
