The Colorado Court of Appeals last week invalidated the marijuana-related conviction of a Mesa County woman, which happened just 26 days before Colorado legalized possession of small amounts of marijuana consistent with Amendment 64. Pamela Boyd was convicted by a jury on Nov. 14, 2012, of possession of marijuana, a petty offense, and felony attempted distribution of marijuana, all stemming from her arrest in a sting operation coordinated by local police. Via proclamation of Gov. John Hickenlooper on Dec. 10, 2012, Colorado legalized possession of 1 ounce or less of marijuana.
