These are from the web site of the District Court of the Virgin Islands: Lee Rohn was charged with a felony: "Posession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute." http://www.vid.uscourts.gov/territorial/03cr0113.pdf "The charge stems form an incident on or about March 29, 2003 at the Henry E. Rohlsen International Airport, St. Croix, USVI, when during a routine inspection, a U.S. Customs agent discovered a substance believed to be marijuana inside the luggage of the defendant." http://www.vid.uscourts.gov/territorial/03cr0113.pdf The Federal Government says a joint averages 0.39 grams (www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/publications/drugfact/drug_avail/chpt5.pdf ) "(1) The marijuana had a gross weight of 13.3 grams" http://www.vid.uscourts.gov/territorial/03cr0113.pdf Hi Factchecker, do you have any links to support your argument?

These are from the web site of the District Court of the Virgin Islands:

Lee Rohn was charged with a felony:
“Posession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.”
http://www.vid.uscourts.gov/territorial/03cr0113.pdf

“The charge stems form an incident on or about March 29, 2003 at the Henry E. Rohlsen International Airport, St. Croix, USVI, when during a routine inspection, a U.S. Customs agent discovered a substance believed to be marijuana inside the luggage of the defendant.”
http://www.vid.uscourts.gov/territorial/03cr0113.pdf

The Federal Government says a joint averages 0.39 grams
(www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/publications/drugfact/drug_avail/chpt5.pdf )

“(1) The marijuana had a gross weight of 13.3 grams”

At least I have an excuse as I am nursing all day and night. Thinking about starting my own blog that Lisa Druck can join: The SLUM Report- (single lactating unemployed mother) I agree with what you said about pols. The best leaders are the volunteers I know who show up every month for local Coalition meetings and get things done from the grass-roots level. The biggest recognition they get is a cheap award at a banquet but they do it for their families and for the satisfaction they get from making things happen for the people in their communities.

(Welcome, Roger!) <blockquote>The Enquirer, meanwhile, says it traced Hunter to a house in St. Croix owned by a lawyer named Lee Rohn, whom it calls a close friend of Edwards. But Rohn’s most recent political contribution went to Barack Obama.

Rohn did donate $2,300 to Edwards’ primary run last September.

“Was Gandalph married? JK Rowling said that Dumbledore was gay so he might not make the ticket.”

*Geek warning*

Technically, Gandalf was the Tolkienian equivalent to an angel (a “Mayar”) so he couldn’t have gotten married.

Would you expose yourself to this kind of scrutiny where there are hundreds of people looking to find dirt on you? For a pal? JE is starting to look like a different level of Manson. I agree that Lisa Druck is coming out ahead so far but that could change. She might actually get stuck with JE who behaves like a sociopath and something tells me she is not the type to want to raise 4 kids. While she is watching the kids, who will watch JE and how will she fit in her public appearances? I guess she'll have his millions to keep her warm.
