March 26, 2010 at 11 am--Winslow and Abraham Norton Pre-Trial Conference

On October 30, 2007, the DEA raided Compassionate Collective of Alameda County (CCAC), in Hayward, CA, as well as the homes of operators Winslow and Abraham Norton.  Officers arrested both men and charged them with conspiracy to distribute over 100 kilos of marijuana, as well as several money-laundering offenses.  CCAC had a permit from Alameda County, and was authorized by the Board of Supervisors.  In February 2009, both the Nortons' father and the manager of the dispensary, Brian Everett, were indicted in this case. 

 The Pre-Trial Conference will take place in the Oakland Federal Building at 1301 Clay Street in Oakland, CA, with Judge Jensen.  All defendants face mandatory minimum sentences of 15-20 years.
