"I wonder how many people get sentenced to four months for a first- time possession of marijuana?" Gaddy asked. He said he is considering an appeal.

"I did it to make a point," he said of the stunt "The only way I know how to fight the law was by breaking it. I had no other recourse other than to break the law." Plea bargains were struck with six of the protesters and two other trials are pending, said Hays County District Attorney Marcos Hernandez Jr. The protesters have sought to use their arrests and trials to further their views. On Wednesday, the small courtroom was packed with people wearing shirts advocating the legalization of marijuana or hemp, as (hey refer to it for environmental purposes. Advocates of marijuana legalization contend that the plant can be used as a non-polluting substitute for fossil fuels ana as a source of paper and medicine.

"1 told all the officers exactly why I was As a citizen of the United States, I have the right to address the government if I think something is wrong," he testified. "I told them the (U.S.) Constitution was written on hemp paper." But Assistant District Attorney Elly Del Prado Diete asked the jury to focus on the law. Jury foreman Ivy Hiomcvik said the case was simple and that Caddy's argument to legalize mari- lalure than a courtroom. "I think there may be some hypocrisy in that alcohol is legal and marijuana isn't I had a child killed by a drunk driver," Hjomevik said.
