[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2776019, member: 7629"] locking a non violent offender for life without parole for small qualities of medicinal pot is just wrong! ========== Missouri man still waiting for freedom after governor commuted his life sentence for pot Jul 29, 2015 [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/media2.kshb.com_photo_2015_07_29_16x9_MO_man_with_commuted_pot337f97ff8ba7c6efed63c7ef909586e0.jpg[/IMG] JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A Sedalia grandfather who’s serving life in prison for non-violent marijuana offenses is still waiting for a chance at freedom. Months after Missouri’s governor commuted his life without parole sentence, Jeff Mizanskey will have a hearing with the parole board on August 6. Nixon commuted his sentence to life with the possibility of parole after more than 100 Missouri lawmakers joined nearly 400,000 people in signing a petition asking the governor to free Mizanskey. “Why he wants me to be on parole after 21 years [in prison], I don't know,” Mizanskey said. One legislator even introduced a bill for Mizanskey’s release after hearing his story. Three Strikes Law Mizanskey, a veteran of the Air Force, says he smoked pot for pain relief from his construction job in his hometown of Sedalia. After his third marijuana conviction, for possession with intent to distribute, a judge sentenced him to life without parole under Missouri's three strikes drug law. State legislators have voted to end the law on Jan. 1, 2017, but not retroactively, meaning it doesn’t help Mizanskey.
