Qld: Man on trial for taking cannabis plant to court
A 39-year-old Nimbin man is standing trial for allegedly taking a cannabis plant into
a Brisbane court.
PETER TILL claims his decision to take the 90 centimetre-tall plant into the Brisbane
Magistrates Court on January 8 2007 .. WASN'T unlawful .. as he was planning to tender
it as evidence in an unrelated court matter.
But the crown has charged him with one count of possession of a dangerous drug.
The Brisbane Magistrates Court has been told TILL used a yellow sack to carry the plant
into the court complex.
It was discovered and seized by security guards after he put it through the security
x-ray machine.
TILL .. who's representing himself .. has told the court he's on a disability pension
.. and uses the drug for medicinal purposes to relieve pain.
The summary trial continues.
