Honolulu Star-Advertiser, 26 Feb 2013 – Whatever anyone thinks of Roger Christie’s argument that drug laws inhibit the free practice of religion by the church he runs, the way his case is playing out is disturbing. The Hawaii island marijuana advocate has been held in federal detention for more than 2-1/2 years. Due to various complexities of the case, including changes in his own legal representation, it’s hard to know who’s at fault for all the delays. But even an overextended law-and-order system is supposed to do its work as quickly as possible. Justice delayed is justice denied, as they say. – — MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
