Indiana youth to stand trial on marijuana possession
The Indiana Supreme Court ruled Evansville youth Martin E. Jennings must stand trial for marijuana possession. Officials argued marijuana remained a dangerous drug during an April to September gap when Indiana had no active drug law. Jennings was charged August 3, 1957, but his lawyers contend the drug’s dangerous status was an invalid interim measure.
