True Story:

David Dean Davidson, 52, and Cynthia Barcelo Blake, 53, grew marijuana on their own property for their own use. They had a doctor's recommendation to take marijuana for their illnesses. Yet they were arrested, and Tehama County prosecutor Lynn Strom pursued a case against them for six months. Then, in the courtroom, she suddenly dropped the charges.

Thinking the case was dismissed, the couple's lawyers were lured into the judge's chambers. While the lawyers were absent, the feds swarmed into the courtroom and arrested Davidson and Blake on federal charges. The lawyers were deprived of the opportunity to advise their clients of their rights. If convicted, the couple now faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison.

Strom "knew she couldn't win," defense attorney Tony Serra said. "So, she concocted this terrible, illegal, underhanded scheme to separate David and Cindy from their attorneys and transition them into federal jurisdiction, where she knows that medical necessity is not a defense."
