Cancer patient Steve Kubby will be in court on Wednesday, February 15th, at
1:00pm, at the Placer County Superior Courthouse, 2775 Richardson Drive, in
Auburn, California.
Steve has an unusually rare form of adrenal cancer. Medical marijuana has kept
him alive longer than any other adrenal cancer patient in history. However, he
has been given only Marinol in jail.
Steve has reportedly been coerced into signing a waiver that absolves Placer
County of any legal responsibility in case he dies while in custody. This
alleged document has not been released to the public, and its validity is
certainly questionable, considering that it was signed under duress.
Steve's prosecuting attorney, Chris Cattran, has made a habit of ignoring
Steve's critical medical condition. On January 31, 2006, he stated that he had
no idea whether or not Steve had cancer. When asked about Steve's right to use
life-saving medicine while incarcerated, Cattran laughed.
Cattran stated on Jan. 31st that he does not
consider Steve Kubby to be a danger
to society. However, Cattran is still actively seeking to increase the length
of Steve's sentence. Despite the intense media
interest, Cattran seems to think
that there is not significant support for Steve Kubby. Cattran claimed that his
office has not received very many calls on the subject. Chris Cattran can be
reached at: (530) 889-7000.
Anybody can put money on Steve's books for commissary & health items. These
donations must be in the form of US postal money orders. No letters may
accompany the money orders. Letters of support may be sent to the same address.
MOs should be made out to Steve Kubby.
