Whipkey Conviction Contested Over Nonexistent Crime
Frederick County Circuit Court Judge John H. Tisdale heard that Larry Edward Whipkey was convicted of a crime defined as conspiracy to possess a non controlled substance. Public defender Arthur Kravetz argued the conspiracy charge has no illegal basis and noted Whipkey pleaded guilty on April 20, 1996. The case cited examples like common lawn grass and candle wax resembling illicit drugs to illustrate the non crime. Whipkey faced a mid 1997 conspiracy and possession charge, served 54 days, then received a 12 month sentence suspended with probation and fines. He was ordered drug free with random testing, to pay court costs, obtain employment, and report to parole. A January request to arrest for probation violations led to a $300 bond and appointment of Kravetz, with a brief hearing resulting in dismissal.
