Medical Marijuana Patient Frank Marzano
Retrieves Evidence from the Ft. Collins Police Department

Frank Marzano, a medical marijuana patient and caregiver whose
2007 marijuana cultivation conviction in Loveland was overturned
by the Colorado Court of Appeals last August, got his confiscated
property returned to him today. Marzano was joined by his attorney,
Robert J. Corry Jr., who won the appeal. Frank's cultivation conviction
was thrown out due to an illegal search. Frank retrieved a truckload
of growing equipment, including 19 sets of growing lights and ballasts,
3 3 foot filters and fans, CO2 machine, trimming machine, and many
bulbs.
Under the Colorado Constitution's medical marijuana amendment,
Marzano's property was not to be harmed or destroyed. However, the
police refused to return any of his medicine to them, many bulbs
were missing or broken, and they cut the power cords off of all
the electrical equipment that he retrieved.
