A three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence for Bryan Epis, 42, the first California medical marijuana grower convicted in federal court in the Prop 215 era. Jay Bybee was one of the three judges. Their 11-page decision ignores the facts and the relevant law as blatantly as the infamous "torture memo" that Bybee signed in August 2002 when he was Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel.
