HOUSTON (AP) - A judge delayed
a marijuana possession trial became
too many of the potential jurors refus-
ed to consider imposing the maximum
punishment of six months in jail and a
$1,000 fine.
County Court-at-law Judge Sher-
man Ross said he was forced to send
all 18 potential jurors home Tuesday
because at least seven were dis-
qualified after indicating they thought
the maximum penalty was too harsh
for possession of less than two ounces
of the weed.
In such a misdemeanor case, at
least 12 qualified jurors must be
available before prosecutors and
defense attorneys eliminate potential
jurors and the remaining six become
the jury
Ross said he would try to start the
trial again today - with 24 more
potential jurors.
About 14 of the 18 potential jurors
said they or their friends had ex-
perimented with marijuana
Those who objected to the max-
imum punishment included old peo-
ple. young people, blacks and whites,
said defense attorney Joe Doucette,
who is representing defendant
Richard Parker, 22.
After all hearings are completed,
the commission will issue its ruling,
which will lie filed in a district court
for court approval
