Wellington Cleared In LSD Mushroom Drug Delivery Case
Rodney Wellington, ex-Iowa football player, was found innocent in Johnson County District Court of delivering LSD mushrooms. The seven hour deliberation left the defendant tearful, with the defense arguing the mushrooms were kept for safety by others and planted responsibility on Wellington due to coercion from the state's main witness. The prosecutor maintained Wellington knowingly sold the mushrooms to an undercover agent.
