Lance had a detention hearing on May 10th, which could have freed him until his sentencing, but despite a rally and a courtroom full of supporters, the judge denied his release, claiming he’s a flight risk. One of the fucked up things about our judicial system, was how Vince Lombardi mentioned things that had nothing to do with evidence actually presented during the trial. One thing wrongly presented by the prosecution was how Lance was operating a “so called” medical dispensary, which wouldn’t be legal under current law, which was not the case since the hearing was in May and the law didn’t take effect until June.

Section 538 states, no federal funds will be used in the prosecution of medical marijuana facilities. Even this didn’t deter Prosecutor Vince Lombardi, who simply said we can revisit it then, clearly a man with no forethought with his place in history. Lance needs your help as he is scheduled for sentencing on June 3rd at 10:30. He needs as many people as possible to come to his hearing and stand up for him in the courtroom. Another freedom rally is scheduled before the hearing, so show up at 9:00 with your “Free Lance” signs! He is facing 5-60 years, however, prosecutor is recommending 10. Lance needs your support, he needs you to write a letter to Judge Leighton, asking him to be lenient on his sentence. You can e-mail your letter or questions to psm103_17@yahoo.com. If you would like to send Lance some mail to help cheer him up, his address is: Lance Gloor #44270-086, FDC SEATAC PO Box 13900, Seattle, WA
