OK, where have the standards NOT been applied? Everything in the article states that the feds followed all of the requirements. I certainly agree that a two-year old email may not be the greatest proof in the world, but it apparently satisfied the judge.

At the most, they should be fined, not face 35 years in prison for illegal flowers.

Deep breath time - remember who you're getting your information from - the accused. I don't know him, so why should I believe what he has to say?
