Both sides rested Wednesday in the medical marijuana trial of former
gubernatorial candidate Steven Wynn Kubby and his wife, Michele.
The Kubbys are charged with conspiracy to commit the crimes of cultivation
and possession of marijuana for sale and possession of a controlled
substance.
Closing arguments will be heard by the Placer County jury today, and
deliberations probably begin Friday morning.
Steve Kubby, 53, and Michele Kubby, 34, were arrested Jan. 19, 1999, when
agents of the North Tahoe Narcotics Task Force raided their Olympic Valley
home and seized 265 marijuana plants in various stages of development.
The Kubbys contend the cultivation and usage was for medical purposes,
consistent with the provisions of Proposition 215, passed by voters in 1996.
The prosecution offered no evidence of actual sales but claimed the number
of plants suggested a commercial operation.
