Six Local Men Appeal Marijuana Case To Supreme Court
Six Corry area men convicted of conspiring to import 1.2 million dollars of marijuana will appeal the Miami federal court verdict. Attorney Richard Marx of Miami says the appeal to the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans will challenge an alleged illegal high seas arrest and the contention that the marijuana aboard the Royono was not proven destined for the United States. The men Carl Hillstrom Leonard Stockton Henry Keppel Loren Stockton Richard Darrow and Robert Savko are free on bond and face up to five years plus fines if the appeal fails, with a possible Supreme Court review if the New Orleans ruling goes against them. The Royono was boarded about 400 miles south of Miami in international waters on March 30 during a Coast Guard safety inspection. The men have returned to the region while appeal time runs.
