CO-ACCUSED CAN ATTEND EMERY'S WEDDING: COURT
Bail conditions are being eased for a B.C. pot activist for his summer
wedding prior to an extradition hearing on U.S. drug charges.
Associate Chief Justice Patrick Dohm decided in B.C. Supreme Court
that Marc Emery's co-accused can attend the July nuptials. Emery,
Michelle Rainey-Fenkarek and Greg Keith Williams were arrested last
July after police raided a marijuana paraphernalia store owned by
Vancouver's "Prince of Pot."
Dohm suspended for two days, July 22 and 23, a bail condition that
stipulates Emery and his co-accused can't associate with each other.
A date for the extradition hearing will be set Aug. 21 in B.C. Supreme
Court, two weeks after the court hears a legal-aid funding
application.
Police arrested the three at the request of U.S. authorities over the
sale of marijuana seeds on the Internet to Americans.
Emery's fiancee, Jodie Giesz-Ramsey, said she's prepared to marry
Emery knowing he may spend years in a U.S. jail.
