Alabama Libertarian Gubernatorial Candidate Cleared of Marijuana Charges

On April 20, an Alabama mid-level court reversed the conviction of Loretta Nall. She had earlier been convicted of possessing less than an ounce of marijuana, in 2002. That conviction had come after her home was raided. The search warrant was based on the fact that she had written a letter to the editor of the Birmingham News advocating that marijuana be legalized, as well as a statement her 4-year-old daughter had made in kindergarten class. Nall’s appeal challenged the basis for the search warrant. The mid-level court reversed the conviction. Nall was the Alabama Libertarian Party’s write-in candidate for Governor in 2002.
