The circuit court, of La Salle County, illinois, decides people v. Swift, acquitting 59-year-old Loren J. Swift of possession of 25 pounds of marijuana and 50 pounds of marijuana plants with intent to deliver. If found guilty, Swift could have been sent to prison for a mandatory minimum term of six years. But the trial jury through self-knowledge suspended what it determined to be an unjust statute.
