Eric VanDussen is working on a documentary showing how different law-enforcement officials, prosecutors, and courts are enforcing the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA). Paramount to the success of the documentary is Mr. VanDussen's ability to videotape court proceedings. Recently, the Michigan Court of Appeals denied Mr. VanDussen's request to videotape, People v Anderson, a criminal case that is likely to have an impact on the MMMA. Citing Administrative Order 1989-1, the Court of Appeals did not believe the fair administration of justice required the videotaping. Mr. VanDussen has asked the Michigan Supreme Court to review the denial. |
