Stupid Criminal News:

From the Cincinnati.com: Judge Melba Marsh admitted the request shocked her.Damaine Mitchell, 19, of Westwood, was before her Wednesday charged with trafficking in marijuana, a crime that carries a maximum prison sentence of 11/2 years. He is accused of selling marijuana June 12 in the parking lot of a Westwood store.....
She told him he would have to stop smoking marijuana for months, maybe until April, and she would drug test him to make sure he was living up to his end of the deal.
Mitchell replied very honestly.
“That’s going to be a challenge,” Mitchell told the judge. “I like smoking weed. I have been smoking weed since I was like 10 years old.”
Marsh then started listing potential deadlines for him to stop smoking pot. Easter? Mitchell couldn’t do it. Valentine’s Day? “I won’t want to,” Mitchell told her.
New Year’s Day? Christmas? Thanksgiving? “If I put my mind to it I can (but) I won’t want to,” he said.
Then Mitchell made the unusual request. He’d be willing to try to quit – if she would approve of what amounted to government-sanctioned drug use.
“I know this is probably not the right question to ask (but) can I get a little time at least (to) get one more joint in,” he asked the judge.
The judge refused.
“No. You can’t have one more joint for old time’s sake,” she said.  http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20121114/NEWS0107/311140123?nclick_check=1
