Marihuana Charges Dismissed For Benzie Commissioner

[Eric L. VanDussen]

This program ( http://www.upnorthmedia.org/watchupnorthtv.asp?SDBFid=2292#vid ) contains Benzie Co. Commissioner Mary Pitcher's short sentencing hearing and an interview with the Benzie Co. sheriff regarding his displeasure with her plea bargain. (It's only 12 minutes long)

 

Here's the:

 

* Interlochen Public Radio story I wrote and comments on their site: http://ipr.interlochen.org/ipr-news-features/episode/9685

 

* TV 7&4's story: (I provided the video content) http://www.upnorthlive.com/news/story.aspx?id=504329

 

* Traverse City Record Eagle article on this issue: http://record-eagle.com/local/x654501024/Benzie-official-pleads-guilty-to-misdemeanor

 

I'm wondering what attorneys think about the commissioner's deal with prosecutors.
