Wan'dale Robinson won't be charged with marijuana possession
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
This is not a surprise, the legislature effectively legalized marijuana last session, or at least made it unenforceable, which is why there is “insufficient evidence”
I'm assuming that the team has different standards than the criminal justice system?
Interesting quote from the article.
"Three other players -- senior Jeremiah Stovall, freshman Myles Farmer and sophomore Maurice Washington -- were cited this off-season for marijuana-related offenses.
But, this week, Prenda said he wasn't charging any of them "at this time as a result of our office’s continued evaluation of the effect of enactment of LB657 on our ability to prosecute marijuana and paraphernalia cases.”

You are naive to think he, our any other team members, will learn from this. IMO, it will open the flood gate for future weed users.
I’m glad he’s not charging them. I’m glad these old stupid laws are changing.
I read this as Robinson definitely would not be charged because of lack of evidence yet the other 3 could be charged down the road.
It was high time the legislature enacted that law.
i read it as none will be charged.
i can only imagine a d.a. instructing derectives..."yeah we need more evidence on this weed charge. go get em boys!"
no chance.
That’s a huge generalization to assume he nor any other team member won’t learn from this.
Regardless of the “law” there will still be team and NCAA rules etc..

Not near as exciting as not wanting to prosecute football players. Basically, the legislature legalized industrial hemp. Industrial hemp was defined as cannabis with less than a certain percentage of thc. Marijuana definition now says that “industrial hemp” is not marijuana. Industrial hemp and marijuana are both cannabis. The state patrol crime lab can identify cannabis and it can identify thc. It cannot give a level of thc concentration in that cannabis. The only way to get a lab report saying that it is marijuana is to send it to an out of state lab, which costs significantly more, particularly if someone wants a trial. Also, realize that max penalty for less than an ounce is $300 fine. It is unlikely that many marijuana cases get filed, unless the patrol gets things together or the legislature fixes things.
Which is probably how it will go in the end.
Robinson however is the only one that will not be charged due to lack of evidence.
wonder if campus police will quit giving out citations for possessiom of mj now that they know that the person won't be charged? will be a few less threads on this board, but it would be a good thing.

Bolded the pertinent part of that quote.
Prenda is Chief Deputy Lancaster County Attorney Bruce Prenda.
To what @Section 104 is saying, LB657 has made recreational MJ tough to prosecute.
