either the codefendant is being paid to take the fall, or the UDJ and the UPD are misrepresenting what happened. It wouldn't be the first time the cops and press mislead the public.

Bush never personally fired a shot in Iraq, either. Is he innocent too?

I am not sorry, he is in a position to influence kids and must be held accountable!

How is the judge and DA related to Burrell? Was Burrell sent to Iraq before he was a teacher? Who released this information.

LEAVE THE GUY ALONE ALREADY!
JUST 'CAUSE HE'S A TEACHER DOESN'T MEAN HE'S NOT HUMAN! HE'S DONE FAR MORE GOOD, THAN ANY "ASSOCIATION" WITH MARIJUANA CULTIVATION COULD HARM.
This county is turning into FASCIST GERMANY lately, SOON THERE WILL BE TOWN HANGINGS AND LYNCHING BY THESE ROTTEN SNITCHES! If everyone is guilty by association then the whole county will soon be imprisoned! First off if you don't like AND IT MAKES YOU MISERABLE, it's simple MOVE AWAY! If you don't like the corn fields, don't move to a corn field! "Cause ganja is here to stay! sorry!
THE ERADICATION OF MARIJUANA IN MENDOCINO COUNTY IS CROWNED WITH FAILURE! Even the Sheriff knows this, thats why he doesn't endorse Measure B!

NO ON MEASURE B
MEASURE B IS UN-MENDOCINO!

Seems like Eyster is more interested in the court of public opinion than the court of law. Looks like a small city attorney trying big city tactics. Present your case in court Eyster, or are you held to a lower standard than the DA.

Lawdy I stand corrected, same legal office however. Family discount? Don't like the postings, dont read them. Dudes guilty as heck. The more his lawyer talks in the paper and articles are written, more postings there will be. Just a fact of how it is. What a lame story after the fact. Innocent my arse.

Lets see, one guy get busted and tells all and then the second guy's lawyer has the first guy recant his statement and swear to the new story "under penalty of perjury .."

Firstly the storyteller is an admitted crook. His believability went down the toilet.

Secondly, the lawyer that obtained this new written cofession that would seemingly distance his client from crime , in my opinion, is guilty of tampering with a witness (crook #1). Maybe the legal counsel needs to spend alittle time in the cross-bar hotel also .... along with the partners in crime.

(CBS/AP) Officers fighting networks of indoor marijuana factories took out what they called a major operation Wednesday in a secluded back room of a house where a nice older lady sold ice cream to kids.

The Mendo Mount, posting in Hawaii. What's wrong local weed to expensive for you? Burrell is guily because he knowingly aided in a crime. He leased the place, paid the bills, and knew exactly what was going on. Can you honestly believe that he wasn't taking in part of the money made from the sells? You people with bleeding hearts posting from all these places other then Mendocino county make me sick. You're the reason things are so out of hand, you're the reason violent crimes are on the rise. You want to fight for the rights of growers, then let them grow this crap in your back yard, not mine.

"First off if you don't like AND IT MAKES YOU MISERABLE, it's simple MOVE AWAY!" Coming from a guy in Hawaii. Refresh my memory here, isn't cannabis illegal in Hawaii. Why don't you put your propaganda to use where you live, not where I live and raise my family!
