Lawyers for a Lenawee County woman accused of growing more than 8,000 marijuana plants don't want the evidence to go up in smoke.

 

They are asking a federal judge in Detroit to allow an expert to examine the plants before the government destroys them.

 

Linda Schmieding and her husband, Edwin, are charged with drug crimes. Thousands of plants were found in June at their farm in Rome Township, 65 miles southwest of Detroit.

 

Linda Schmieding's lawyers say an examination of the plants is important for possible trial strategy or down the road at sentencing if there's a conviction.

 

Prosecutors oppose the request. A judge will hold a hearing Thursday.
