Court affirms pure weight conviction in marijuana case
A state appellate court in Rochester upholds the first trial conviction based on the pure weight of marijuana. Peter E. Lukens Jr., 30, was convicted of third degree criminal sale of marijuana and seventh degree possession of hashish after a June 1978 arrest in Geddes. The case hinges on testing that proved 1.8 ounces of marijuana were pure, under a standard later revised by the Legislature.
