GARY SILVA’S TRAIL GOES ON AND ON AND ON

In a continued show of callousness and arrogance, the Riverside County DA’s office is continuing their unrelenting siege against mmj patient Gary Silva. Just when everyone thought it was all over, Gary is back in court and practically back to square one.

To bring you all up to speed about Gary and his trials, check out the video where Gary tells the whole story of the arrest.

In what appears to be their last act of defiance to the medicinal use issue, Riverside County has abandoned all things "215" and has declared war on the medicinal users of cannabis within their jurisdiction.

Choosing to pursue this issue in the case of Gary and Krista Silva, the prosecution was able to convince a stand-in superior court judge, that Gary should begin trial on the cultivation charge, and dismissing the weapons charge based upon the inability on the part of the D.A.’S Office, after three (3) years of "Searching" the records archives, to produce one shred of evidence, or official documentation that proves that Gary was a convicted felon, and therefore not allowed to possess any firearms. (He was housing a gun collection belonging to a family member).

The cultivation stems from a small room, indoor grow, which produced a relatively small amount of medicine, and was used by Gary who possessed a valid recommendation from his physician to use.

I don't know for certain what the reasoning behind this recent move, really is, but I do know one thing, and that is that Gary and Krista have lost their home and are living in a Fifth Wheel parked on his mothers property, and have been doing so for over a year. That all of "This" has taken a toll on their health, their finances, their relationship, and emotional state is an understatement to say the least, Krista had a job doing what she liked working at a pre-school, until she was spotted by a parent who knew who she was, and knew about Gary's case, and threatened to remove her child. Krista was placed on a "Leave of Absence" without pay since Christmas.

January 20, 2009, was supposed to mark a day of "Change!!" The only change to occur in the lives of Gary and Krista Silva is that on the 17th of next month, the prosecution and defense will meet in a "T.R.C." (Trial Readiness Conference), and if the judge fails once again to see through this madness, a trial date will be set, and Gary Silva's fate will once again be in the hands of strangers, or those he has known for a very short time. And the ironic part is that the judge, prosecutor, and court personnel all get paid regardless of how long a case goes on, regardless how many times its postponed, stayed, or continued. That is why after three years, three different defense attorneys, two judges, and numerous deputy D.A.'s, Gary will get his day in court But lacking in his one time adobe house on five acres of fenced desert property, his business which helped in allowing him his home, workshop, entertainment center, and his vintage car, and beloved Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and allowing him and his wife to live comfortably reaping the rewards of their hard work installing tracks, hanging, cutting, customizing, window and separation curtains, from hospitals to "Dressing" single family residences, Gary and Krista worked hard, paid taxes, and raised families, and lived the “American” dream, only to become victim to what has become the "American" reality.

To say that what has happened to them is a miscarriage of justice, is an understatement to say the least. This is nothing short of a travesty and a violation of not only the intent of "Proposition 215," but a violation of all things decent and moral.In a continued show of callousness and arrogance, the Riverside County DA’s... more
