Weedman wins on smokin' defense motion

Our own NJ Weedman, Ed Forchion won a victory in federal court when earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Stewart Dalzell ruled in his favor on a pro-se motion.

In his Jan. 7 order, Dalzell wrote, "because staying Forchion's sentence will not endanger the public or seriously undermine any important public interest, the risk of irreparable injury to Forchion from being subjected to potentially invalid restraints on his liberty requires us to stay his sentence."

Ed is becoming quite a "jailhouse lawyer" both from inside and now, outside the cell. His legal troubles are far from over but for the moment, he's still free to practice his legal skills and his religion. Good work.
