Who’s Baking Now?

The story of the Special Cloyne Treats continues to get stranger. From the SF Chronicle (via The Smorgasboard):

UC Berkeley police said Anderson and Portka made the cookies and Tobias supplied the marijuana for an annual event commemorating the assigning of rooms at the co-op, which has had a reputation for partying.

In court Friday, Portka’s attorney, William Linehan, sought to downplay the incident, telling the commissioner that those who ate the cookies “were not sick. They were wasted.”

In seeking the couple’s release, Linehan told Lott, “Our clients are not deemed as suppliers — they’re bakers.” That comment elicited laughter from the courtroom gallery and a smile from the commissioner.

I guess that if the bong wasn’t lit, you must acquit.
