Jacy Todd’s Legal Battle Over Cannabis Petitions

Fifty-five-year-old Jacy Todd is still fighting a petition fraud conviction after being hit with 23 counts of official misconduct and one count of lying under oath for notarizing medical cannabis petitions. Though the judge spared him jail time and dropped fines totaling $3,866.44, his lawyer is now taking the case to appeals court, arguing for judicial errors including denied directed verdicts, evidence suppression, and a mistrial. Todd claims the prosecution is politically motivated, targeting voters who supported medical cannabis — even though he ran for governor without success. His defense contends any mistakes were innocent and questions the credibility of a key witness who admitted to forging signatures. The prosecution counters that Todd notarized petitions when circulators weren’t present — contradicting his own testimony. The case heads back to Hall County District Court on August 17th, where the truth may finally be revealed — and the courts will decide if justice was served or if corruption is at play.
