Ex-US Drug Enforcement Agent, Mike Levine, spoke out about Renee Boje's
case
in an article which appeared in "Heads Magazine", Vol 4, Issue 1, and
was
written by Thoman Mann. Mike Levine was interviewed for the article and
stated the following:
"I've researched Renee's case in detail anc cannot find one shred of
evidence linking her to any crime," states Levine. "The officers
involved
wanted Todd McCormick and hoped Renee would help them do so. What they
didn't anticipate was Renee refusing to falsify evidence, fleeing the
country and finding widespread support in the media. By default, she's
become a figurehead in the medical marijuana movement. The arresting
officers are so zealous they just won't give up."
"Often the sheer number of plants found in the Bel Air mansion where
Renee
was arrested is made to be an issue with her case," continues Levine.
"In
medical marijuana prosecution, Just because someone has more than their
allotted number of plants or possess more than their legal limit of
cannabis, this in itself does not make anyone guilty of a crime...
Lawyers
need to argue this more strongly. Renee and her family are caught in a
nightmare that is still unfolding," somberly concludes the former DEA
sargent. "Let's hope reason prevails and they just drop her charges."
